I have been pro-choice for years but only NOW did I remember (because abortion rights are front and center every time) that EVERYONE'S reproductive rights should be covered under a law like this. The Refucklicans are already going after IVF, and they will not stop there. Thanks for the reminder and more excellent reasons to vote yes!

They are going after IVF? I missed that. WTF? What is there justification for that?

It’s common to fertilize multiple eggs and implant only one embryo a time. The remaining embryos would be frozen until needed or destroyed, and the abortion bans can be interpreted to ban destruction of any embryo, even one not implanted in a uterus.

“God doesn’t want you to have kids if you’re not able to do it naturally” Essentially just bull about IVF being too close to playing God

Except for the fact that I know some ultra-religious types who are vehemently against abortion but have done multiple rounds of IVF themselves. Make it make sense.

Yeah really depends on the individual and their personal beliefs, often which are just like the most wildly contradictory ideas you’ve ever heard

"Rules for thee and not for me."

It makes no sense but it's their whole ethos.

Given the position of god is vacant, someone sure needs to step up and play it

My daughter is an IVF baby. We had our embryos genetic tested because we had no idea what was causing our infertility. We had like 9 embryos, but only one was viable (my daughter). The rest would have died in the womb, painfully shortly after birth, or been severely disabled their whole life. Zero regrets about destroying the non-viable embryos. It sounds like my wife would have been expected to attempt to carry all of them if the right evangelicals had their way. Total nightmare. We probably would have just not had kids if their desired rules were in place.
