Where is the pertinent question about IVF?

[Pototan]

The question that puts Trump or Vance in a no-win position on IVF is, "what do you propose to do with the unused, fertilized eggs following the procedure?"

Very few people are against the implantation of a fertilized egg into the patient. The question is if the unused, fertilized eggs are human life or not?

That's the question that puts them on the spot.

1. Perfect! The problem is that neither

of those fucking assholes goes anywhere that would dare ask a question more hard hitting than, "Why are you perfect for America?".

2. Trump is too stupid to understand that

or is just counting on his base to be that stupid. He can say he's for a fertilized egg being a person, and for a total abortion ban and never figure out himself or face publicly the condundrum with IVF. He'll just stop answering questions and play music. After the election if there's no more IVF it's not his problem.

3. Selective reduction

This is my understanding. Sometimes more than one group of cells is placed in the uterus to increase the odds of a successful pregnancy. Sometimes a single group of cells is placed in the uterus, but it divides, resulting in multiple fetuses. To lower the risk associated with multiple births, usually there is a selective reduction so that only a single pregnancy continues. (No selective reduction was done in the case of "Octomom".) Selective reduction would be considered abortion so it would be prohibited. If women are then forced to carry multiple babies to term, high risk pregnancies for mothers and fetuses would result. If something went wrong and one of the fetuses died in utero, medical options to save the surviving fetuses and/or the mother from life-threatening complications would be restricted, even if infection occurred. So politicians who oppose abortion while claiming to support IVF don't know or care about women.
