Nothing says pro-life like murdering a woman who's trying to use an invasive and expensive medical procedure to conceive a child. That'll teach women not to... want to have... children? AMERICA FIRST!
Violence and jail? Funny way to spell "the death penalty."
What the fuck do they have against IVF?
- My mother described it as "eugenics, you know, like the Nazis did."
  I think it has something to do with the idea that they think a clump of cells is the same as a real person, so if they're outlawing abortion as murder, then IVF is murder too.
  
  That's what happens when you treat extremist ideologies as deserving equal consideration and let the extremists eat at your table.
- Because they believe (or pretend to for political benefit) that you “kill” the fertilized embryos that you don’t use. IIRC this is one of the Catholic things that migrated into Evangelical Christianity when they started to make abortion one of their major issues.
  Catholics have always been against abortion, IVF, birth control (including condoms), etc. It’s shitty but at least it’s consistent I guess, at least wrt abortion and IVF. The birth control thing is just stupid and the condom one is outright dangerous and criminal wrt STD’s.
  Evangelicals just hopped on board in the past few decades when they realized they could use it to win elections. It’s really funny how they used to not give a shit about abortions, and they’re just now coming around to IVF. Thanks Jerry Falwell, you massive steaming pile of shit!
... Texas Republicans upset that people will have more money in their pockets and become less dependent on their shitty low-wage jobs and abuse where they can then force their religion and penises upon you.
So glad I left Texas long ago
