Christians and Christian employers will certainly be troubled by this legislation. <\/p>\n<p>The bill, introduced by Republican Sen. Roger Marshall and Democrat Sen. Cory Booker, requires coverage not only for infertile male-female couples but even for same-sex couples or transgender-identifying employees. The bill appears to require coverage for medical and IVF costs associated with surrogacy, including commercial surrogacy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-807856793\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-fb3a37fe1ae857968cf14d34f15f22c4 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-fb3a37fe1ae857968cf14d34f15f22c4\"><\/div>\n<p>Although IVF supporters are touting IVF generally and this bill specifically as pro-family and pro-life, nothing could be further from the truth.\u00a0A significant fact for religious employers is that only about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0015028211007631#:~:text=A%20total%20number%20of%208%2C483,transferred%20embryos%20needed%20per%20newborn).\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10 percent<\/a> of lab-created embryos are born alive.\u00a0Indeed, IVF procedures treat embryos \u2014 tiny humans \u2014 as commodities to serve the needs of adults who may not even be related to them.

IVF facilities and sperm banks purchase porn to fuel the masturbation often required to obtain sperm sold to IVF customers. Eggs are typically harvested in bulk and purchased from a low-income woman. It\u2019s usually only possible to fertilize the many eggs needed for the process after carcinogenic hormones are injected to hyperstimulate the ovaries.<\/p>\n<p>Eugenics isn\u2019t pro-life, that\u2019s for sure, as well as at odds with Christian belief about the dignity of every human life. However, the IVF industry normalizes the shopping of sperm and eggs on the basis of a host\u2019s attractiveness, IQ, academic achievement, and race. Then the embryos are genetically \u201cscreened,\u201d a euphemism for deeming certain embryos the wrong sex or genetically \u201cinferior,\u201d after which they are simply destroyed after their short life. Millions of tiny embryonic humans meet this fate every year. Others are actually aborted when many embryos are inserted into the mother\u2019s uterus in the hopes that one of them will \u201ctake.\u201d If too many do so, some will be \u201cselectively reduced\u201d to give their stronger, bigger siblings a better chance at survival.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-44ef388d22f669a94c6e9941c4f947df fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-44ef388d22f669a94c6e9941c4f947df\"><\/div>\n<p>Is it pro-life to indefinitely freeze embryos, sometimes for decades?

When that can\u2019t happen because of death, or because of abuse or neglect, society rightly grieves with the child and tries to create a compassionate Plan B through foster care and adoption.

I know firsthand the grief and loss of infertility. But sometimes the price of our misguided attempts to end suffering creates far more suffering than it solves. There is remarkably little scientific research into the root causes of infertility, including the reproductive toxins being manufactured by Big Food, Big Chemical, Big Plastic, and Big Pharma.
