On paper, there appears to be a powerful partnership of Republicans in the Senate who support the protection of newborn life from the beginning.
These GOP politicians do n’t just identify as pro-life on and off the campaign trail. With the exception of three of them ( Lisa Murkowski, Mitt Romney, and Susan Collins ), all others receive good A+ scores from pro-choice organizations like SBA Pro-Life America, which claims to assess whether elected officials are truly concerned about protecting the newborn.
It shocks many lower chamber Republicans to sign onto a statement expressing unwavering support for a practice that constantly abandons and discards millions of tiny lives, given their relatively impenetrable reputations for the sanctity of life.  ,
However, that’s exactly what happened last week when every single one of the 49 lawmakers who make up the GOP’s promote of the top legislative chamber endorsed “nationwide exposure to IVF” under the pretense that it has “allowed thousands of aspiring parents to start and grow their people.”
To increase the chances of successful petri dish vision, it is a common process for in vitro fertilization to harvest and fertilize many eggs. The hundreds of thousands of IVF phases that take place each year in the United States suggest that large numbers of embryos are produced only to be pushed apart because of eugenics-esque genetics, scoring, and freezer rejection.
The Republicans ‘ speech suggests that they want this sexual technology available to anyone and everyone, including accused psychopaths, who want to create , probably motherless and fatherless , children by whatever means necessary.
The politicians who expressed” solid help” for that procedure court and reflect some of the most Holy, pro- life voters in the union. However, their justification for supporting big fertility and IVF rests on the same tenet as the abortive practices they so vehemently oppose, which states that unborn children should only survive when they are wanted, and does not align with pro-life principles.
‘ Womb to Tomb ‘
To be pro-life means to respect the natural rights that people are first given at birth. That means life begins in the blink of an embryologist when they successfully deposit sperm on an egg in an IVF setting.
The movement for the unborn began years after the activists were concerned about the rise of assisted reproductive technology.” Conception” is not some arbitrary definition. For years now, modern science,  , medicine,  , many states, and even , abortion giant Planned Parenthood , have all agreed that life starts the moment sperm fertilizes an egg.
Pro- lifers, including Sens. Ted Cruz and Katie Britt have long used this widely accepted definition to further their fight against the abortion industry. When it comes to IVF, however, they are either suspiciously quiet or suspiciously supportive.
Abortion activists frequently accuse pro-life advocates of caring about infants until the day of birth, which thousands of pregnancy centers and millions of dollars in new parent resources easily refute. Senate Republicans who have publicly criticized the value of life as a defining trait of their careers have knowingly stumbled into the trap by claiming that lab-created lives are less than worthy of survival than those that reach the womb.
For the past two years, insiders and outsiders have been making speculating that the pro-life movement is looking for a platform to use and message in response to Dobbs v. Jackson. Here is their time to shine.
While there is still a lot of work to be done in regards to deceptive abortion ballot measures, calling out the pitfalls of IVF and other assisted reproductive technology ( ART ) fits perfectly into the pro-life framework activists spent years constructing.
GOP politicians who want to live out their views on the unborn should stop letting Senate Democrats with radical ART and abortion-related goals get them into a fight that undermines their self-proclaimed pro-life standing and should instead choose to take action.
Instead of referring to human embryos as being people who deserve a chance to live, they can start by criticizing how unfairly they are treated as property. Instead of enacting legislation that sacrifices those states ‘ rights to protect an industry that thrives on profit over people, they should also consider supporting states that move to restrict unethical and immoral reproductive methods.
The Senate Republicans who signed the IVF statement are far too close to normalizing when they claim to value life beginning at conception. Failure to protect blastocysts is a moral failure.
