[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

The catholic church s hopelessly slow and behind in its rate of change  in response to scientific advancement.   [b]Many  catholic churches are chock full of people who are on their own to navigate all these conflicts but many do it  successfully.

I wa once a member of the gayest catholic church you have ever seen.  Amazing parish.  has and still has a thriving soup kitchen that feeds thousands each week.

adn no doubt there were many women in the pews that had terminated pregnancies, used birth control, had IVF procedures, baptized IVF babies, etc, etc,[/quote]

I agree, but ACB is an out-and-proud hardline literalist when it comes to Church teachings.  She joined a whackadoodle handmaid cult because she felt her church was too liberal in applying the faith.  She's the one we need to worry about, not a hypothetical random Catholic family in the pews.[/quote]
