“They were attacking my faith. It bothered me to the core,” said Sara, a Southern Baptist who identifies as pro-life. “Because I had never viewed [IVF] as wrong, as anything other than beautiful and bringing another life into the world. … I’ve actually had a lot of friends pray for me and encourage me and help me along in the process.”

The stance is “Making more white babies is good” / “Making more rich babies is good”.

IVF is outrageously expensive. It’s exclusively for the segment of the population that’s got $50k to spend up front on having a kid.

Until a cop shoots a pregnant woman in the stomach or an ICE agent shoves a pregnant woman onto the ground or an IDF soldier runs over a wounded pregnant woman with a bulldozer

The problem isn’t with fertilized eggs nearly so much as who qualifies as a “person”.

They don’t even have to do that, they are one of the few groups of people that can just stop voting altogether. If enough sit out that the GOP loses big they’ll either have to change or a new “conservative” party will be force to rise

They almost did it after they lost to Obama again in 2012 iirc. The Republican leadership put out a report that the GOP should soften it’s views on immigration reform and court Latino voters. And then the Tea Party crazies took over.

Hey, they’re welcome to involve their church in their medical care. They just don’t get to force their church into everyone else’s.

Adding oneself to the considerations for bad things happening is an acquired trait.

So many bad drivers despite car accidents being a leading cause of death proves that we suck at calculating risk assessment.
