[quote=Anonymous]I also find pro-life arguments incredibly hypocritical in the age of IVF.  I have two Catholic neighbors who are vehemently pro-life who have both had children from IVF.  I am happy they were able to have their kids, but the fact is, there are multiple fertilized embryos created between both of them that are highly unlikely to be used, and are most likely going to be destroyed at some point.  Isn't that murder under their mental framework?  Further, implanting more than one fertilized egg in a women with female factor infertility could be argued to be sending that "baby" (pro-life language, certainly not mine) on a death mission, as the odds of that pregnancy working are much lower than in nature.  Fact is, while there are more abortions in raw numbers than IVF procedures, each IVF procedure will result in more lost embryos than any one abortion.  I fully support IVF by the way, but people use a lot of mental gymnastics in attempt to have the moral high ground, and it needs to be called out.  I found this article very useful in pointing out this hypocrisy, as well as further proving that it really is about controlling women's bodies:
