[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, 06:21, you are completely wrong - under ACB's views, life begins at conception and exists "from fertilization until death."  They believe that IVF that results in the creation and eventual destruction of extra embryos destroys life and is tantamount to murder.  This is in line with some Catholics' views (including my MIL's) but is not talked about because IVF is much more popular than abortion.  ACB has supported a group that is on record advocating criminalizing the destruction of fertilized embryos.

I know Catholic couples that have done IVF. They either used all their embryos or donated them to other women. That way none were destroyed. [/quote]

Individual Catholics go against the Church's teachings all the time.  I know many, many Catholics who have had abortions.  That's really neither here nor there.  ACB using the Church's teachings [i]to shape US law[/i] is not going to be impacted by the behavior of random laypeople.

Any use of IVF, even if no embryos are destroyed, is against the teachings of the Catholic Church: https://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/human-life-and-dignity/reproductive-technology/begotten-not-made-a-catholic-view-of-reproductive-technology[/quote]
