Episode notes
IVF Breaks Conjugal Connection
- Albert Mohler argues IVF severs conception from the conjugal act and creates moral harms through embryo creation and destruction.
- He warns that expanding TRICARE IVF coverage risks normalizing embryo disposal and widening access to everyone, including non-married and same-sex recipients.
Back Speaker Johnson's NDAA Stance
- Support Speaker Mike Johnson's effort to remove blanket IVF coverage from the NDAA to prevent taxpayer-funded expansion of IVF in TRICARE.
- Contact representatives and back pro-life leaders to defend restrictions on military-funded IVF access.
Policy Shift Expanded Military IVF Access
- The Biden Defense Department in 2024 broadened infertility coverage to unmarried service members and third-party gamete use, effectively extending access beyond married couples.
- Mohler notes such policy shifts erode restrictions that previously limited IVF to certain married service members with military-linked reasons.
