In case you didn't know

 

What more is there to say on this one?

Republicans who say they support IVF backed a bill protecting life ‘at conception’

The antiabortion bill in the House has no provisions for processes like in vitro fertilization


Excerpts provided below.
"The congressional proposal, known as the Life at Conception Act, defines a “human being” to “include each member of the species homo sapiens at all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization or cloning, or other moment at which an individual member of the human species comes into being.” The bill would also provide equal protection under the 14th Amendment “for the right to life of each born and preborn human person.”
And this:
"The legislation is co-sponsored by 125 Republicans in the House, including Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who, in the wake of the Alabama ruling, said in a statement to The Washington Post that he supports efforts to allow IVF treatments because he believes “the life of every single child has inestimable dignity and value.”

They've been trying to have it both ways on this ever since the Alabama decision, but in reality, they can't have it both ways.

It doesn't work this way, by the way.
