Red-state Christian women are rising up, speaking out to defend IVF
www.washingtonpost.com
Following an Alabama court ruling that put IVF at risk, women who usually post online about faith and family have become outspoken, even angry advocates.

“They were attacking my faith. It bothered me to the core,” said Sara, a Southern Baptist who identifies as pro-life. “Because I had never viewed [IVF] as wrong, as anything other than beautiful and bringing another life into the world. … I’ve actually had a lot of friends pray for me and encourage me and help me along in the process.”

    They should defend it at the poles along with the right to keep all their medical issues between them and their doctors.

        The best way for conservatives to drive forth a common sense conservative agenda is by voting for the Democrats!

          They almost did it after they lost to Obama again in 2012 iirc. The Republican leadership put out a report that the GOP should soften it’s views on immigration reform and court Latino voters. And then the Tea Party crazies took over.

          They don’t even have to do that, they are one of the few groups of people that can just stop voting altogether. If enough sit out that the GOP loses big they’ll either have to change or a new “conservative” party will be force to rise

      Hey, they’re welcome to involve their church in their medical care. They just don’t get to force their church into everyone else’s.

      (and: it’s “polls”)

      I too would like to see conservative women defending women’s rights at the poles.
