Before the legalisation of artificial contraceptives, the idea that an unborn child comes into existence at the moment of conception was not a ‘controversial’ or conservative political position, but merely rational acceptance of incontrovertible biological fact.

“Though it is true that sometimes it is lawful to tolerate a lesser moral evil in order to avoid a greater evil or in order to promote a greater good," it is never lawful, even for the gravest reasons, to do evil that good may come of it (18)—in other words, to intend directly something which of its very nature contradicts the moral order, and which must therefore be judged unworthy of man, even though the intention is to protect or promote the welfare of an individual, of a family or of society in general.”

“If the decision stands, it could essentially end in vitro fertilization,” said Dr. Robert Schenken, president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.

Pro-life ping!

This judge is in Chicogo? And making rulings like this? Why haven't his arms been broken yet.

I swear the Chicago democrat machine has really been slipping

It is simply a lie that this ruling implies an end to IVF. If it becomes established precedent will merely force IVF to be done the slow way it is permitted in Italy: fertilize one egg in vitro, implant, either the mother has a baby or a miscarriage, repeat if necessary.

All it would forbid is the creation of embryos which are not implanted, all in all a saluatory change.

Perhaps there is a glimmer in the long night of the infanticide.

I don't hold much hope that this will survive the appeal, but it is a beginning.

Interesting, good for the Judge, however, I doubt this is more than hype on the part of LifeNews, with all due respect. It's clear from reading that ONLY if the ruling stands, will this be a problem for the abortion industry and IVF. Also it's clear from the article that the ruling most likely will NOT withstand appeal. So, like I said, hype.

But it's nice to see not all judges are leftist activists.

The in vitro fertilization industry is worried that a Chicago court decision in which an embryo was ruled to be a ‘human being,’

Imagine that! An unborn human being is, well, a human being... We can't have that!!!
