Got it. So you believe a fertilized egg is a human being.
Okay. Based on that, I can only assume you *must* be anti-IVF and anti-fertility clinics. What are your proposals for making IVF illegal and criminalizing it?
Do you know the stats on how many fertilized eggs couples (many of them Christians!) and fertility doctors intentionally throw away in the IVF process?
You should probably look those up. You have a whole lot of fellow Christians you need to condemn and call murderers.
Also...
Is it immoral to freeze or store a fertilized egg? A human being wouldn't want to be stored or frozen, right? Shouldn't all fertilized eggs have the opportunity to be implanted in a uterus?
Will you be protesting fertility clinics at the March For Life?

We have (or nearly have) the capability to raise a zygote/embryo/fertilized egg artificially outside the womb.
So what’s your plan for all the millions of fertilized eggs currently stored at fertility clinics?
Since you're so knowledgeable on the subject, I assume you know that some couples have *dozens* of fertilized eggs currently being stored. Should they be forced to bring all of them to term via artificial womb? Or forced to give the embryos up for adoption?
Further...
If a man impregnates a woman but she doesn’t want to be pregnant, I assume it's fine to have the fertilized egg transferred to an artificial womb? Then handed over to the man who did the impregnating? And forcing him to take care of the fertilized egg until it reaches adulthood?

For those of you following the story of my nephew and his wife, finally some good news: They just won their hearing! Our whole family is breathing a huge sigh of relief. I'll share a few more details about the outcome of the hearing in the next tweet.
Though they've been awarded custody, in the short term (3 to 6 months), the parents will still be required to have visits from DCF to observe their parenting. I’m told that full unconditional custody is simply not ever offered in these hearings.
Something you might be interested to know: As soon as the judge ruled against DCF, DCF promptly asked for a gag order against any discussion of the case with the media. But their request for a gag order was denied (except for the actual court records).
Many of you have been following the updates about my nephew and his wife. The Department of Children and Families (DCF) in Boston took their babies (3 mos old and 3 yrs old) in the middle of the night, with no warrant or paperwork. You can catch up here:
I have an update for you: The 72-hour hearing is happening this week. They are told it will begin on Monday or Tuesday. It’s called a 72-hour hearing because it’s supposed to happen within 72 hours of DCF filing the paperwork after separating a family.
If you can’t afford a lawyer, the court appoints one. That lawyer may have little or no experience with DCF, and because the hearing happens so quickly, they won’t have time to prepare. So the chance that parents will lose custody of their children is very high.
Two Saturdays ago I wrote about a nightmare my nephew and his wife are experiencing. Boston DCF (Dept of Children & Families) took their babies (age 3 months and 3.5 years) in the middle of the night. With no warrant. Here's the whole story written up by the mother.

Their children have severe allergies.

She took her 3 month old baby to the emergency room for a high fever.

My extended family has been thrown into a hellish nightmare. My nephew and his wife, who live in Boston, just had their two sons taken from them in the middle of the night by CPS. Their sons are 6 months old, and 3 1/2. A baby and a toddler, the baby still nursing.
Very late on Wednesday night, they took the baby into the emergency room because he had a high fever. In a scan, the hospital staff saw signs of a possible injury from 6 weeks ago, the parents weren’t aware of the injury, so the hospital suspected child abuse. CPS was called.
My nephew and his wife were in shock. They immediately complied with all CPS requests. The baby was seen by his usual pediatrician, who vouched for the parents and confirmed the baby was thriving in this family.
This guy is rightly getting ratioed because he doesn’t know his “secret” is having a wife. Makes me think about how often companies hire men with stay-at-home wives. Based on what he describes, we can see his wife is doing ~70% of the work it takes to keep him thriving. So...
Common sense says that his company should split his paycheck 30/70 and pay 70% directly to the wife. She should get 70% of the retirement benefits directly in her name, and 70% of any other perks or benefits. They should both be on the payroll.
His company is taking a huge risk — they have a CEO whose entire life is built on volunteer, unpaid labor. Can you imagine if this company relied on key internal departments that were run only by volunteers with no paid contracts? What investors would support that kind of risk?
