IVF, replacing Dad, and Chloe's story

 

 

Foundations newsletter July 28, 2022 Foundations is a semi-monthly online publication of Personhood Alliance Education that informs and equips Christians on issues of life for the 21st century. Personhood in the news IVF: Another front in the cause for life In vitro fertilization (IVF) and its related technologies inevitably treat children not as people but as the objects of manufacture. Embryos that don’t make the cut on this human assembly line can be easily discarded. To bring one child to term through IVF normally involves sacrificing other embryos—often many. We have seen clearly how abortion license has lowered our respect for the human person at all stages of life. IVF is having the same effect. read more >> Survey says: You can't replace Dad New research from the Institute for Family Studies demonstrates, once again, how important fathers are, especially for boys. Christians can challenge the growing public safety crisis that is fatherlessness, and we must start in the Church. No matter if our technologies and cultural dogmas pretend otherwise, every child has a father. These new statistics show, again, that every child needs their father. And we have no right to deprive them. read more >> Chloe's story: puberty blockers at 13 A young California woman, Chloe Cole, has testified before legislators in her own state, in Louisiana, and in Florida about her experience at the hands of "gender-affirming" doctors. She began to live as a male at 13; she had a double mastectomy at 15. Now at 17, Chloe is sounding the alarm about the dangers and life long consequences of these medical treatments. "No child should have to experience what I have. My consent was not informed. I was failed by modern medicine." read more >> Personhood on the ground We must take a stand: Our faith and principles require decisive action The Personhood Alliance seeks to uphold a moral standard that, sadly, has been abandoned by many in the pro-life movement.  We do not advocate any one particular legal or political strategy as much as the adherence to universal moral principles. We believe the pro-life movement has done great harm to its own ability to succeed by promoting legislation that abandons children conceived in rape, children with disabilities, and other politically unfashionable groups of human beings. We also believe in the principle of subsidiarity. The pro-life movement has made a mistake in delegating the responsibility for social change to judges and politicians. Evil must be confronted by each and every one of us, especially at the local level. If we believe that an unjust law is no law at all, then we must be willing to act like it.
