“Unfortunately, many Christians—including those who consider themselves “pro-life”—are lacking in similar moral clarity.”

Oh yeah, isn’t that the truth. We have several here who claim the GOP will lose everything over this IVF and abortion.
First, when federal legislation was even mentioned, they claimed they’re the most pro-life people on the planet but that the killing of children was a state issue. Then when the states act to protect the little boys and girls, these pro-lifers-in-name-only claim it is an issue that the government should not be involved in at all and the GOP should be neutral to get more votes.
Murder should always be illegal on any and all levels. And when one states that fact, the posers go off on tangents of the legal definitions of murder, etc. Or they’ll claim that murdering children for IVF is no different than children dying in miscarriages. Or that we’re not a theocracy, as if murder is based on religion. These people are sick and have no moral clarity.
With pro-lifers like that, who needs Satan or the Democrats?
I agree with you morally, but constitutionally murder need not be legislated on every level. Murder is a State crime and until the people forgot that the Federal Government is one of limited jurisdiction (trade, interstate commerce, military) murder of almost any type was nit a Federal crime.
Following your logic the UN should ban murder in the US and have courts to try a used murderers when Anerican DAs decline to prosecute
