A federal program to help injured veterans and their spouses conceive children through IVF is being hobbled by anti-abortion forces that oppose how the process can lead to embryos being destroyed.

, as couples opt to transfer the most viable one at a time to avoid multiple births. Unused embryos may be stored indefinitely, donated to science or destroyed — a prospect opponents see as tantamount to abortion and a key sticking point in their opposition to this military program.

Brittany Raymer, an analyst with Focus on the Family, said the organization is hesitant to support legislation extending and making permanent the benefit, despite having"immense compassion for those military couples who are struggling to conceive due to an injury received while serving our country."," she said in an emailed statement, including using taxpayer dollars to create embryos that might be left in a state of limbo or destroyed.

In Crystal Wilson's opinion, limiting access to a permanent IVF benefit harms the families of disabled veterans who are trying to have babies. Wilson has conceived two IVF babies through the VA benefit with her husband, Tyler, who was paralyzed from the waist down when struck by a bullet in Afghanistan in 2005.

Nada les parece a estas asociaciones, cuando que lo que buscan los veteranos es vida

It is completely ironic that anti-abortionists are the EXACT reason why abortions should remain legal.

Every sperm is sacred, every sperm is great. If a sperm gets wasted, God gets quite irate.

The right loves to butt in and control the behavior of other people.

looking forward to the many federal programs hobbling, then unhobbling, expediting, rehobbling, handicapping, excempting, court appeal reversing, trying to facilitate again, getting defunded, just trying to [do basically anything that might in theory or practice help someone]

So deny these families a chance of having children..... WACKOS

Why is this country letting a small percentage of zealots control us like this? Stem cells, IVF...these are things that arguably benefit us as a nation but we allow the absolute fringe control of the conversation. Mind boggling.

You know you’re doomed when the decision is in the hands of people who can’t spell fertilization or embryos and barely understand what the words mean.

Cults destroying our country since beginning of man.

Conservatives once again proving they’re “pro-birth” rather than “pro-life.”

Country whites are eating their own

Cute way to warp the entire issue with your agenda of murder.

Their pet looks like a 'wolf cat fox'! 😄 Cute!! 😊

This is an absurd conversation; of course their IVF should be covered... But; does this man have a fox on his lap?

This is a much nobler justification than you usually see. I wonder why embryos need to be sacrificed for this process? If extra care is taken can this be circumvented I wonder? The devil is in the details (pardon the expression).

Nice try, Liberals....

I- Execute the mother because she had a miscarriage

all pro-lifers care less for being factual or for science and research by experts they just pushing legislation based on ignorance and religious believes... is stupid... that is never what Jesus and Christianity advocated for is a deviation and depravation

Let's help the people who PROTECT OUR COUNTRY

Stop killing babys for science and convenience it's wrong life is precious

And?

I just love it when other peoples stupid religion affects other peoples life's these so called 'pro-lifer's' need to grow up and forget about there imaginary friend in the sky!

Just as Jesus commanded
