Anti-Abortion Groups Take on IVF, Fertility Clinics Over Unused Embryos: ‘They Are Still Alive’

October 9, 2019

(Newsweek) – Local anti-abortion groups in Illinois are taking on fertility clinics and other medical facilities over discarded or donated embryos left over from the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF). According to a report from The Chicago Tribune, abortion opponents gathered outside a fertility clinic in Naperville in late September to fight for the future of the frozen embryos that are not used in IVF. The protest was part of the city’s annual “Bike for Life” fundraiser.
