I was focussed on the saying that these embryos don’t get implanted in the particular person who is the genetic egg mother. My sister finally got pregnant via in vitro, and it was not an easy process, so that was my focus.

Of course you are correct. I was having tunnel vision!

But, as far as I know, there are a lot of other fertilized eggs that actually get out of the freezer and into an actual woman. And, then, they are aborted, because, yanno, because of the woman. Or, her body.

My Republican Mother Schools Wingnut on Obama Inaccuracies

A representative from the health insurance company who covers her Medigap and Prescription plan came to see her to go over her coverage and help her get the best out of the plan. At some point, my mother made a comment about the fiasco that is Bush’s Part D plan and the obscene doughnut hole she finds herself in. I guess the woman took this as an opportunity to bring politics into the discussion, because she said “I certainly hope you are not planning to vote for Obama”.

My mother was a bit taken aback by this blunt statement and asked why. The woman started out by saying she would never vote for someone in favor of abortion. My mother took her to task on that, saying abortions had been around for hundreds of years and making them illegal would not stop them. It would just put us back to the days when women died from unsafe procedures. She told her about the many young women her husband (and my father), a general surgeon in this rural area, had to put back together after botched illegal abortions, and about those who he was able to save but were forever unable to have kids because they had been so damaged. So adamant was she on the subject of choice, the insurance woman dropped that talking point
