As the Trump administration considers new rules governing in vitro fertilization, the pro-life movement is grappling with a new ethical challenge.
For more than five decades, the pro-life movement has focused on abortion and consistently upheld the scientific principle that life begins at conception. But if that principle is true, it cannot stop at the doors of an IVF clinic.
We grieve the loss of roughly 1 million unborn children killed through abortion each year. We advocate, vote, donate, and pray for an end to abortion, just as we did to end Roe v. Wade.
Many people who are otherwise pro-life support IVF. Their logic is simple: Abortion destroys life, while IVF makes it. Thus, IVF is said to be “pro-life.”
Except nearly all forms of IVF involve the destruction of fertilized embryos. IVF is responsible for the destruction of millions of embryos each year.
