Why don’t DEMs make a big huge list (on poster board) - of every R in the Capitol who has used IVF? I really don’t understand it… help me understand….

Medical privacy? Unless they go around advertising the fact.

Oh true - I just meant most ppl are very happy with it / results. Only ppl who have been public with the info (tho I believe it was only Rs up for re-election that blocked it).

I’m so so tired

No, every single Republican voted No except 2 females; Susan Collins & Lisa Murkowski. JD Vance was absent for that vote.

But it’s a human issue. Are they pretending they never needed it / don’t approve?

Just ‘splaining here. Many pro-lifers reject IVF. The reason is that multiple embryos are created and only a few are implanted. Sometimes after three embryos are implanted there is a selective abortion to reduce the number of growing embryos to one. This means that human embryos are discarded at some point, and for many pro-lifers that means that human beings get killed as a result of IVF.

The only woman who had all the embryos implanted was the Octamom. You may remember a few years back a woman gave birth to eight children after IVF.

Thank you for that explanation. I was wondering how pro-lifers were against IVF.

Please do not use their advertising term, they are not "pro-life" they are "forced birthers" or "anti-abortion", That misnomer was a marketing term. Here is the origin.
