And sure enough, clinics and hospitals have to stop treatment. Imagine spending tens of thousands of $ and countless hours at appointments, giving yourself shots, managing to make embryos, getting back on hormones for transfer prep... and getting your cycle canceled. The cruelty is overwhelming.

In my religion, it is not "effacing God's glory" to destroy embryos. Embryos are not children. As @theradr.bsky.social reminded us, the "unborn child" is considered "mere fluid" for the 1st 40 days past conception. The "unborn child" is not a life until it's *crowning*.

I cannot. I simply can't imagine it.
