Calling it now…
The instant that the artificial womb filters down past the rich and famous level, the pro-life set will be against its use, especially by “welfare queens” [whether or not those mythical women can even afford their use].
They’re not about saving babies. They’re about punishing women for having sex without their consent. This debate will just underline that.

“In Tokyo, researchers have developed a technique called EUFI — extrauterine fetal incubation. They have taken goat fetuses, threaded catheters through the large vessels in the umbilical cord and supplied the fetuses with oxygenated blood while suspending them in incubators that contain artificial amniotic fluid heated to body temperature.”
