Then is a "reduction" illegal now? It's really an abortion.

What Is Multifetal Reduction?

Fertility treatments raise your odds of getting pregnant with more than one baby. When you carry twins, triplets, or more, pregnancy becomes more of a challenge. It’s also less likely that all your babies will be born healthy.

A surgery called multifetal reduction lowers the number of fetuses and improves your chances for a healthy pregnancy

Those teeny tiny babies get cold and lonely in the freezer. I'm guessing reduction surgery will be illegal. "Carry all eight of them and let God sort it out" will be their rationale.

if you do nothing and they all die it is God's will. Not that they really know what God's will is mind you. That is how they justify themselves for all this...by pretending they are God.

This procedure is no joke. You're not going to do it if you can conceive any other way.

So, if God told you that you shouldn't be having babies by making you infertile, and you tell God to GFH by spending tens of thousands of dollars to artificially get pregnant, don't you think God would be pissed at your decision?

These assholes think they are God, because they read the parts of the Bible that suit them...if that.
