Unfreezing the New Voices for Life
On June 10, the Trump administration's Department of Health and Human Services issued a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) to encourage the adoption of frozen embryos. The history of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the second Trump administration has been a winding road, with broad commitments by President Trump to promote expanded insurance coverage of the practice mixed with widespread resistance by pro-life advocates concerned about IVF practices that lead to the killing of embryonic human beings in the freezing process or by genetic selection. The June 10 notice was received warmly by pro-life groups because of its focus on respect for the life of every human embryo and its stated intention to ensure that each of these children has "the opportunity for life within a stable and loving family."
