MODERATORS
Either:
Embryos are people and they should never be destroyed, so IVF and abortion should be illegal.
OR
Embryos are not people and your right to choose what happens to your body is paramount. Therefore, abortions and IVF should be legal.
Which is it?
Neither. IVF is just like abortion...when they do it, it's OK because they had a good reason. When someone else does it, it's because they're going against God's will and deserve to be judged by both their neighbors and the government.
You assume these morons even know how IVF works.
Evangelicals are adopting catholic church positions in order to fuel their need for conflict and culture war except unlike the catholic church they have not sifted through the ramifications of their adopted positions so you end up with courts ruling IVF is illegal because its an obvious fallout of "embryos are people" but conservatives never think that far ahead (if they did they wouldn't oppose education or abortion so heavily especially given the effects it will have on our economy and crime)
