So now do I switch my vote for Nikki? This is why we have federalism. Try out ideas at the state level and see what's works and what doesn't. GOP, stop trying to federalize everything. You are falling into the big-government trap teh Democrats set for you.

How about the GOP deosn't have a national policy on this issue at all?

Imagine a world where a corrupt oligarch could bribe a doctor to implant clones of himself for future organ harvesting. The Uber rich of the world are obsessed with life extension technologies, practices and diabolical transhumanism . The perverted reptiles that rule us would have no qualms about doing this to benefit themselves. They must be crushed.

This is why I call myself Conservative rather than Republican. I'm registered as a Republican only because I have to register as something in my State and I'm sure not going to register with the completely godless Democrat Party or some loser party like Libertarians. It is only because individual Republican candidates have views that are more remotely in line with mine that I vote for them.

Too many Republican politicians now think no different than the Democrat Party of Death and Leftism on this and other issues. They deliberately or ignorantly ignore the fact that abortion and IVF is murder and then mouth the Democrat kabuki of a "sensible and compassionate" response. All to get votes from the air-headed and emotion driven suburban mom crowd.

As I said in another thread in this topic, when we speak of human zygotes, embryos, fetuses, babies, children, teenagers, adults, middle-aged, and old age, these are are simply descriptions of the various stages of human development. Some occur on one side of the birth canal, others on the other side. Some may be imperfect or unwanted by their parents or by society. But all are living human beings. All have an equal human dignity. None should unjustly be deprived of life.

A dumbass self-inflicted wound.

...Occurring in the ramp up to nationwide elections where suburban wine moms are going to be the difference in a lot of close races. Almost all of those women, even pro-life ones, are going to react harsly negatively to the idea of limiting fertility treatments. They are going to have friends who struggled with fertility, and they are going to be easily swayed by any hint that this is coming to their state if they vote for an R candidate.

Over and over again, election after election, these self-inflicted overreaches are made, and then immediately exploited by the left. It's almost like it's a deliberate sabotage operation.

I think there is a good case to make an abstract argument about fertility treatments being careless with human life, I think there is a case to be made that IVF shouldnt be a legal medical treatment because it is using technology to override the will of nature. I don't agree with those things, but I'd think it should be something people can debate. I don't, however, think it is any court's job to create new interpretations of laws to either force that debate, or unilaterally extend the definition of words to decide things for the rest of the population.

“The text of the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act is sweeping and unqualified,” argued Justice Jay Mitchell in the majority opinion. “It applies to all children, born and unborn, without limitation. It is not the role of this Court to craft a new limitation based on our own view of what is or is not wise public policy.”

Agreed, 100%.
