If Christians actually knew what IVF entails, support for the industry would collapse.

Pieces like this are important 👇🏻

The problem isn’t a lack of conviction; it’s a lack of knowledge. 

Evangelical Christians have been the backbone of the pro-life movement—but if we’re being honest, we haven’t been consistent when it comes to our support for IVF and other reproductive technologies. (1/4)

Check this out! It's time to rethink fertility from the perspective of the rights of children.

@cantdon Thank you, Chuck! You’re a hero in this movement!

Big news today: my substack Rethinking Fertility is HERE and I’m not pulling any punches.

It’s been a wild ride these last few years, and I can’t wait to share it all with you as we build a movement of men and women rethinking their fertility.

infertility, reproductive health, and doing the next right thing no matter where you are. This means we need to understand the times, the technology, and crucially, the theology behind it. 

That’s what this substack is for. 3/4

Science says life begins at fertilization.

I know that because I was one of those embryos.

Frozen for over 2 years.
Given an inventory number before a name.
Now I’m a licensed social worker typing this tweet.

Trump's new fertility benefit is a rare chance to redirect federal policy toward root cause care for infertility & reproductive health, no IVF required.

Christians shouldn't waste it. I explore how *you* can make a difference in @WNGdotorg

Do we really believe unborn children are still children?

That question doesn’t stop at abortion.

Frozen Orphans is a documentary exploring the ethical questions surrounding IVF, genetic screening, and modern parenthood.

Very thankful to be included in this project presented by @FrznOrphns and grateful they shared my conversation with @realJennaEllis. Excited for these conversations to continue ✨✨

[Rethinking Fertility @rtfertility]

It's a heartbreaking statistic. But there's hope.

While Big Fertility profits from painting IVF as the only viable option to hopeful couples, there is more at risk and more than one path.

In April, several TMU students had the chance to work on the set of a video podcast with the team that created “The Essential Church.” They were nominated for this opportunity by Prof. Matt Green, director of TMU’s Cinema & Digital Arts program. Read more: https://t.co/2tVRIrGg9P

Part of why IVF succeeds is because it’s a numbers game.
Multiple embryos are created so those considered “higher quality” can be selected to improve the chances of pregnancy.
But what happens to the remaining embryos?

The world promises IVF as the answer to infertility.
But behind that promise are difficult questions about frozen embryos, genetic selection, loss, and the cost of creating life.
Frozen Orphans is a documentary currently in production.

[Rethinking Fertility @rtfertility]

Frozen embryos don’t have a known shelf life.
The real question is whether human life was ever meant to be frozen in the first place.

Frozen Orphans is an upcoming documentary exploring how we got here — and the responsibility we now bear.
