According to the Republican Platform, In Vitro Fertilization should be illegal, but if a woman is raped she is required to have the baby.
Can someone explain how that it philosophically consistent?

Re: Rape and In Vitro Fertalization
In Vitro often includes culling out some fertilized eggs. So, they might put 4 fertilized eggs in a woman and then take out 2 or 3 if they all "take."
There is also a large amount of cell waste. Fertilized eggs that are thrown away (that could be used for stem cell research, by the way). A small number of these eggs are adopted out.

The far right has a zygote fetish, one small step from the "every sperm is sacred" fetish.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.
