House Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday that in vitro fertilization and the handling of embryos remains an issue that “policymakers have to determine how to handle.”
“We need to look at the ethics surrounding that issue, but it’s an important one,” Johnson told “CBS Mornings” co-host Tony Dokoupil on Thursday. “If you do believe that life begins at conception, it’s a really important question to wrestle with.”
Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, made clear his support for the “sanctity of life” as well as IVF. But he then said there’s an “ethical handling” of the issue that must be considered by states.
“In some states, like in Louisiana, there’s a limit on the number of embryos that can be created because they’re sensitive to that issue,” he said. “But it’s something that every state has to wrestle with and I think Alabama has done a good job of it.”
Really Mike? What “ethics” are you talking about? You believe that life begins at conception but killing certain little babies “is an issue you have to wrestle with?” Really? Do you truly think killing a few is ok but you really shouldn’t get carried away? And that each state can decide if they want to murder little babies?
I’m sorry, these “personhood” chickens have come home to roost. They are now facing the illogic that says abortion of an embryo naturally conceived is murder but discarding embryos from IVF isn’t is where they have landed and it makes no sense.
Well, unless it isn’t about embryos and never has been. Pretty sure it’s about women refusing to fulfill their natural duty as incubators. To patriarchal throwbacks like Mike Johnson, a woman is nothing more than the soil for man’s seed and they cannot be trusted with decisions about procreation.
