Emma Waters, of the DeVos Center for Life, Religion, and Family at The Heritage Foundation, looked under the hood of the legislation. She believes that it will permit commercial surrogacy and could make IVF even less regulated than it already is. It turns a blind eye to the complex emotional issues surrounding couples’ desire for children.
But fundamentally, she points out, Senator Duckworth is wrong to assert that: “The choice to build a family is a fundamental right for all Americans.” This implies that parents have a right to a child. “A child, whose life begins at conception, is not a mere object to design, buy, or sell to fulfill an adult’s wishes.”

Last year, Mayor Eric Adams signed legislation requiring city-run health clinics to make abortion available to women at no cost, and this law will take effect later this year. It in unclear if the contract regarding abortion pills is related. Adams also arranged for an abortion access phone line to be set up so women can obtain abortions more easily.
