CNN —Having struggled with infertility, I’ve spent nearly all of the past 10 years focusing solely on creating life.
Our two children were conceived in Alabama through in-vitro fertilization (IVF), the science of creating, freezing and attempting to implant embryos in my womb.
And although IVF is very much a wonder of modern science, as a Christian, I believe it is a gift from God.
Women who miscarry an embryo implanted through IVF may wonder if their actions are illegal, and if so, whether they will be prosecuted.
I’d like to know how many of the justices who conferred personhood on embryos know someone who had to create and miscarry multiple embryos in order to finally have a child.
