Blink and you may have missed it. President Trumpsigned into law another executive order, this one touching on a significant concern for pro-life Americans: in-vitro fertilization.
The President’s latest EO reinserts us back into a debate over what legal protections should be afforded to embryos and the attendant public policy ramifications. But this debate goes even beyond the President’s EO, to debates about the future of pro-life politics. Joining us to discuss these subjects is our friend Steve Aden.
