14. Right now there isn't much political will for that.

You bring up a good point, though-- if people really think terminating a pregnancy is murder, shouldn't discarding frozen embryos also be murder? The Catholic Church, which if nothing else is generally consistent on these things, opposes IVF for this reason. But my guess is right now most people who want to ban abortion won't say anything about IVF.
