Sarah Stula: Evangelical America and IVF

Respect Life Radio

"Every child is a gift from God, no matter how they're here," said Sarah Stula, an attorney in Kansas City. "The point is where do we go from here to protect unborn life?" Stula recently authored an article in First Things called "Evangelical America and IVF" in response to the February decision by the Alabama Supreme Court that ruled that human embryos stored in an IVF clinic are unborn children for the purposes of the state's wrongful death statute. Stula writes the article from the perspective of a woman who, together with her husband, suffered from infertility for almost seven years before they were able to adopt their baby girl in early 2024. As she writes, "To those experiencing infertility, my plea is this: Don’t turn a blind eye to what’s happening in the fertility industry. Don’t sacrifice one life for another. Consider the cost. Stay rooted in truth and don’t turn from it, even for your heart’s greatest desire."
