Anti-abortion group expands protests to fertilization clinic

A major anti-abortion group has expanded its scope beyond abortion clinics to include protests against in vitro fertilization clinics.

The Chicago-based Pro-Life Action League tried to block approval of an in vitro fertilization clinic in Naperville on Tuesday. When the city council approved its construction in a 7-2 vote, the league’s Executive Director Eric Scheidler said his group would stage protests at the clinic.

“There is no moral difference between those children and the children being killed down the road at Planned Parenthood,” Scheidler said at the council meeting, “and justice is due to those children. If that justice is not done by this council today then you must know, that justice will be done through public protest at Dr. Morris’ facility.”

Dr. Randy Morris, an endocrinologist specializing in reproductive medicine, already has an office in Naperville, as well as offices on Chicago’s Near North Side and Plainfield. His proposed clinic would replace his Naperville office.

2. They're just control freaks.

3. I've thought there would be a certain logic concerning religion and these fertilization

clinics. If it's all about God's will, why don't religious people that can't have kids accept that? If it's wrong to use contraception to interfere with reproduction, why is it okay to use any and all medical procedures and treatments to make it happen?

4. This is unusual.

This is often a point of hypocrisy for these anti-choice nuts: Most of them seem to think that abortions are bad, but in vitro fertilization is good. A lot of them are too stupid to know what in vitro fertilization is, let alone what zygotes are and what happens to them.
