This procedure is a specialized form of IVF where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg using a microscopic needle (micropipette) to achieve fertilization, bypassing natural selection, and is ideal for severe male infertility, low sperm counts, or previous IVF failures.

I support IVF. It is protected under law, and it will remain that way. No one is taking IVF away — but Senate Democrats know that their radical stances on abortion are far outside of the mainstream, which is why they are resorting to scaremongering regarding the availability of IVF. IVF has been a blessing for countless families and it’s not going anywhere.

Horrific. At 30-years-old, Sasha Szafranski discovered her parents weren’t actually related to her. They were victims in an IVF embryo mix-up. IVF plays with the lives of innocent human beings. Families are left broken and hurting. The children suffer the most. Ban IVF now.

Alabama couple Kelly & Jimmy Belmont, who are using IVF after trying to get pregnant for two years, talk about the shock of this week’s court ruling: “It never occurred to me that people would take the overturning of Roe v. Wade and link it to IVF. At its very core, IVF is trying to create life and build families."

Reflecting on her own IVF journey, Brooke Shields shared: "My daughter stood up and said, 'I’m the result of IVF... if it didn't exist, if my mom died during the miscarriage, I wouldn’t exist.' And to hear your 21-year-old say that, it's a mixture of pride for her and just deep, deep injustice and anger."

Deciding whether to accept or destroy a child you created based on their sex is simply eugenics. It’s wrong to leave one child indefinitely frozen because they are the wrong sex — or worse, to destroy that “extra embryo.” This is one of the many ethical problems with IVF and surrogacy. Infertility can be incredibly painful, but IVF and surrogacy put the wants of parents above the rights and needs of children. Children deserve better.

IVF is a topic that often elicits a lot of emotions, but we need to discuss it anyway because IVF destroys more embryonic life than Planned Parenthood does. I had an in-depth conversation with Catalina Fausto on this issue and I haven’t looked at IVF the same since.

ALERT: Florida parents are granted custody of a baby who isn't biologically theirs after a doctor mixed up the IVF embryo. Steven Mills and Tiffany Score gave birth to a girl in December after receiving an IVF embryo from the Fertility Center of Orlando. However, the couple, who are Caucasian, became concerned when the baby did not display Caucasian characteristics. Genetic testing later confirmed that the couple was not related, and that a different family's embryo had been placed into Score. According to the court filing from a lawsuit against the clinic, the biological parents have been located, but Mills and Score will retain permanent legal custody of the baby. Mills and Score have also found another facility for future IVF treatment and have moved their frozen embryos out of the facility that mixed them up. The Fertility Center of Orlando has since closed, but faces several lawsuits.
