In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that he "strongly" supports the availability of IVF for couples "who are trying to have a precious baby."
"Today, I am calling on the Alabama Legislature to act quickly to find an immediate solution to preserve the availability of IVF in Alabama. The Republican Party should always be on the side of the Miracle of Life — and the side of Mothers, Fathers, and their Beautiful Babies,"
I am all for mothers, fathers and their beautiful babies also. However, since the IVF journey began, I've had concern over the many babies conceived thru IVF that don't get implanted in a mother's womb. Is it okay that so many must die (or remain forever frozen) so that mom & dad get to have 1 or 2 children to love? Does the end justify the means? These are questions that humans may have to answer when they face the final judgment. May God have mercy on us if we are wrong.
Admittedly, while going through IF, those thoughts never crossed my mind. We had three separate transfers, trying two embryos each time, and have our amazing son as the result. It grieves my heart that we didn't get to transfer our remaining four. 😢 I've prayed about it often. My emotions do not control my thinking like they did when we tried it in the first place.
I cannot imagine the pain of not being able to conceive or carry a pregnancy. I do believe that our God forgives sins.
It can be a very tough ordeal. I am very grateful for His forgiveness.
Mind me asking how long you tried? My wife and I are in month 5 of trying and really starting to get bummed out :(
So many of our friends have success first try, my wife comes home and cries every time she hears that.
I can't be sure of this, but from what my daughter tells me, I don't think they "remain frozen forever", but it's limited to 5 years...at least it is in the northern state she lives in.
And then what happens to the embryos, if there is no womb for them?
Exactly...I don't know, but assume they are destroyed?
I've asked her about this and she doesn't know for sure, either. So many of her friends are doing this as infertility is rising and it's harder for them to conceive naturally.
Yes, they are destroyed.
