They’re all ignorant regarding assisted reproductive technology ART. The way they’re using scientific terminology isn’t correct at all. Extrauterine means outside the uterus. An extrauterine pregnancy is considered to be ectopic. An intrauterine pregnancy is inside the uterus. Anatomical terms are very specific in usage. A frozen human embryo suspended in a tank of liquid nitrogen could accurately be referred to as an exra-corporal embryo. Which means outside of the body.

The terms embryo or fetus is not specific to the human species. It’s a developmental stage in our existence just like any other mammalian species.The word child refers to a young human much like puppy or kitten refers to a young dog or cat. A cryogenically preserved human embryo is just that. Not a child an embryo or a human embryo to be specific.

This is why the government should not be involved in making policy decisions about this type of matter. These people are usually not scientists or medical professionals or those concerned with religious or faith based issues. Even if they were should they be making these kinds of policy decisions for everyone?

Has anyone told the orange felon he can't be the "fertility president?" That title obviously belongs to his string puller, who fertilizes any woman who crosses his path.

One more Not-April-Fools-Day-Joke from the NY Times:

"The United States is ending its financial support for family planning programs in developing countries, cutting nearly 50 million women off from access to contraception.

"This policy change has attracted little attention amid the wholesale dismantling of American foreign aid, but it stands to have enormous implications, including more maternal deaths and an overall increase in poverty. It derails an effort that had brought long-acting contraceptives to women in some of the poorest and most isolated parts of the world in recent years."

I don't expect empathy or generosity from this administration, but you'd think they'd be smart enough to recognize what's in their self interest since that's the only thing they care about.

He's hoping to encourage lots of new white babies to populate his vision of the perfect 50's world.
