Parenting: Take This Job And Love It

Parenting is a job that can be loved deeply. I was never the kind of woman who was good with babies. Oh, I could admire them just fine. I just didn’t have the first clue about caring for them. When I was a new mom, my friend came over and tossed around my baby in total comfort. She held Ethan one way, then casually flipped him to rest on her forearm, then cradled him close and then held him out.

My friend treated him like a football.

Live Action calls on Trump administration to reject public funding of IVF

A Live Action memo, now public but in the hands of the Trump administration for months, encourages the administration to turn away from the promotion of IVF toward promoting treating the underlying causes of infertility. The memo points out that Restorative Reproductive Medicine has seen great success in bringing healing to those experiencing infertility by addressing things like hormone balance and nutritional support. It addresses ovulation-related disorders, nutritional deficiencies, immunological concerns, as well as male infertility factors. The public funding of IVF has the potential to significantly increase the taxpayer burden, while paying for a technology that leads to the destruction of human life.
