Remember to vote against IVF on Tuesday, November 5
Rehumanize is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and a big-tent coalition with a diversity of views, both of which are good reasons why we do not endorse parties or candidates the way that many advocacy organizations might.
However, sometimes individual issues are clearer, and one of Rehumanize's issues is on the ballot on Tuesday. The referendum reads:
Should all medically appropriate assisted reproductive treatments, including, but not limited to, in vitro fertilization, be covered by any health insurance plan in Illinois that provides coverage for pregnancy benefits, without limitation on the number of treatments?
We are urging voters to please vote NO on the IVF referendum. We are certainly not against reproductive health and assistance, but IVF (in vitro fertilization) as it is commonly practiced often creates many more embryos than are wanted, leading to "discarding" (killing) of living humans. We are against IVF insofar as we know it will not be practiced non-violently.
If you're still deciding what to think of IVF and embryo's rights, please take the time to consider this explainer from Rehumanize International. It is very well argued with science and reason and responds to common objections to the pro-life position.
Thank you for attending the Rehumanize International Conference
Just wanted to sincerely thank anyone who attended the Rehumanize International conference this past weekend. Sometimes the Consistent Life Ethic is kind of lonely, and it is good to be in a community and among friends. See you next year!
