11. IVF

Feb 2024

Our oldest daughter is 40. She and her 2nd husband had to go the IFV route. She is expecting their first child in July. This is something that she has wanted for some time now. We currently live in Ohio. I can't believe this is happening. I hope that these people are voted out of office for a long time to come. I think people should be able to claim their unborn on their taxes since they are being afforded the rights of personhood.
