Dear John,
<p>Last week, President Donald Trump made an announcement from the Oval Office that was a mixed bag.</p> <p>You signed the petition urging him to reverse his executive order expanding taxpayer-funded IVF and instead champion ethical, life-affirming infertility solutions like NaProTechnology. <strong>Because thousands of you spoke up, the White House listened,</strong> at least in part.</p> <p>Here’s the honest update: this is a draw, not a full win.</p> <p><strong>What We Achieved</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>NO government mandate.</strong> Employers may offer IVF coverage in insurance plans, but it remains optional. Religious employers and pro-life Americans will not face an Obama-style contraception-analogue mandate forcing them into conscience violations.</li> <li><strong>NO direct taxpayer subsidies</strong>. There is no federal funding stream paying clinics to manufacture and destroy unborn children with our tax dollars.</li> <li><strong>No public money </strong>is flowing to IVF labs.</li> <li><strong>Root-cause treatments</strong> recognized. The guidance explicitly opens the door to covering restorative reproductive medicine, the ethical alternative we demanded.</li> </ul> <p>Pro-life leaders who met with the White House call this “the least bad we could have hoped for.” One told The Daily Wire, <em>“No subsidy and no mandate is a lot different than he sounded last fall.”</em></p> <p><strong>Where We Still Fall Short</strong></p> <p>President Trump is still promoting IVF, a technology that knowingly creates multiple human embryos in a petri dish with the expectation that only one or two will be implanted, while the rest are discarded, frozen indefinitely, or selected from catalogs by sex, race, or genetic traits.</p> <p>Unlike many European countries, where clinics and governments regulate embryo creation, storage, and destruction, the U.S. remains largely a <strong>regulatory free-for-all</strong>. Ryan Anderson and others point out that America lacks the kinds of embryo protections or limits that Europe enforces.</p> <p>The press admits Trump had promised <strong><em>“free IVF for all”</em> </strong>but quietly walked it back after pro-life pushback, <strong>proving that your voices made an impact.</strong></p> <p>We prevented the worst-case scenario, but we have not ended the harm. The worst outcome, taxpayer mandates and subsidies, was avoided. But we still allow unborn children to be <strong>manufactured and destroyed,</strong> and we still permit a system that treats children like commodities or worse, c<strong>onsumer goods.</strong></p> <p><strong>What Happens Next</strong></p> <p>Keep pushing. President Trump has shown he responds to pressure. If we stay loud, we can still secure:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Explicit protections for every unborn child</strong> created through assisted reproduction.<br /></li> <li><strong>Priority funding</strong> for restorative reproductive medicine over IVF.<br /></li> <li>An <strong>end to eugenic selection practices</strong> that treat children like consumer products.<br /></li> <li><strong>Protections against commercial surrogacy and “<em>designer baby</em>” schemes</strong> in which babies are created, sold, or selected for traits like sex, race, or appearance.<br /></li> </ul> <p><strong>Thank you for making this partial victory possible.</strong> Your signature forced the White House to consult with pro-life groups and walk back the most dangerous elements.</p> <p><strong>Stay vigilant.</strong> We are monitoring rule-making at the U.S. Department of Labor and will alert you if any mandate or subsidy creeps in.</p> <p><strong>Forward this email to one pro-life friend</strong> and ask them to stay in the fight. Every voice keeps the pressure on.</p>
In defense of the tiniest babies,
