Clinics employ cunning marketing to convince couples to use their services.
Theologian Father Alexander Schmemann reminds us in his “Celebration of Faith” series: “Every entrance of a new human being into the world and life is a miracle of miracles, a miracle that explodes all routine, for it marks the start of something unending, the start of a unique, unrepeatable human life, the beginning of a new person. And with each birth the world is itself in some sense created anew and given as a gift to this new human being to be his life, his path, his creation.”
This quote is a poignant reminder of how, upon conception, a new, eternal relationship between parents and child has begun, and how the intentional taking of an unrepeatable, eternal soul’s life is nothing short of a tragedy.
The profound significance of this new, eternal relationship is ignored not only through abortion, but through politicians such as Tim Walz and Donald Trump when they champion in vitro fertilization, a process that treats embryonic human beings as expendable, experimental subjects. Walz stated that the Republican party seeks to remove “reproductive freedoms” from some of the ways people have been choosing to build their families for quite some time already, and Trump has recently promised “free” IVF to infertile couples.
In the best-case scenario, perhaps these two politicians are unaware of the reality that IVF involves the killing of many humans for the sake of those who are brought to birth. But how are your average, working-class couples so easily duped by the “promises” of the fertility industry?
