President Trump just signed an executive order to make IVF cheaper and easier to get. This comes as conservatives fight over whether helping families have babies through science is right or wrong. Trump says he wants to help parents struggling to have kids. But some pro-life leaders say IVF kills more babies than it saves.
BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler blasted IVF expansion in a recent Glenn Beck show. She argued that for every baby born through IVF, about 15 frozen embryos get thrown away or destroyed. “IVF turns children into products,” Wheeler said. She warned that fertility clinics create multiple “test-tube babies” but only pick some to live while discarding the rest.
IVF works by mixing eggs and sperm in labs to make embryos. Doctors implant one or two in the mother’s womb and freeze the extras. Pro-lifers say this process treats human life like a science experiment. Frozen embryos often get donated to research, destroyed, or left forgotten in storage facilities forever.
Wheeler slammed politicians for ignoring IVF’s dark side while chasing “miracle baby” stories. She said Trump and RFK Jr. should focus on fixing America’s fertility crisis through marriage support and pregnancy care instead of risky science projects. “We’re trading human dignity for convenience,” she told Beck.
The White House claims 85,000 IVF babies were born in 2021 alone. But fertility rates keep dropping nationwide as fewer couples marry or have kids naturally. Some experts blame chemicals in food, plastics pollution, and young people putting careers before family life for making Americans less fertile.
Trump’s order pushes insurance companies to cover IVF treatments costing $12,000-$25,000 per try. While cheering this move might seem pro-family, conservatives warn it could force taxpayers to fund embryo destruction. Many red states still let clinics discard unused embryos despite strict abortion bans protecting unborn life.
India’s collapsing birth rates show what happens when societies reject big families. Their fertility rate will soon drop below replacement levels like China and South Korea – countries now begging citizens to have more kids while their economies crumble under aging populations. America could face similar collapse if young keep delaying marriage.
The GOP remains split between pro-IVF business interests and pro-life values voters ahead of 2024 elections. As Democrats push extreme abortion policies, Republicans risk losing moral high ground by backing embryo-killing fertility tech. Wheeler urged leaders to promote adoption over IVF and fix root causes making parenthood seem impossible for struggling couples.
