0:00.0 | So last week, President Trump signed an executive order with the goal of expanding access to and lowering the cost of in vitro fertilization, known as IVF. |
0:13.9 | This is not a good thing. |
0:15.3 | This is not pro-life. |
0:17.1 | Trump is wrong. |
0:18.5 | You know what we do here at the Seth Kruber show. |
0:21.3 | We praise politicians when they do good things to create an expectation of more of those good things. |
0:27.6 | And we critique them when they do bad things. |
0:30.1 | So they hear the outrage of pro-life Christian America and they stop doing those bad things because that's part of what self-government means. |
0:37.4 | This order directs Trump's assistant for domestic policy to come up with a list of policy ideas |
0:42.0 | for protecting IVF and aggressively reducing out-of-pocket and health care costs for IVF treatment within the next 90 days. |

1:33.3 | And it became part of his promises on his campaign trail that IVF would be free for all families, |
1:39.4 | either paid for by insurance companies or the government. Okay, we're going to talk about why |
1:42.8 | this is bad, why it's not pro-life, why it violates |
1:46.1 | children's rights, why it opens up the door to redefining the family as we know it, why |
1:50.8 | it's not a conservative principle, and why it needs to be completely banned even though |
1:54.3 | there's one tiny little ethical way in which you can justify it. |
1:57.0 | There's no way to maintain that while prohibiting the other forms of practices that endanger children's rights. |
