“I proudly rise in support of her amendment. Let us talk a little bit about this. When you do in vitro fertilization, let us face it, you are not going to have any embryos unless the people are willing to consent to give up the egg and the sperm. There is no way a doctor can capture those from someone and steal them from them and they walk down the street. So you have two willing people involved here. Second, you have a dish of embryos and you cannot implant all of them in the uterus because the threat of multiple birth would crowd out each other. So then what you have is some embryos that are going to be discarded or might be used for research, if and only if the consenting adults agree. I cannot imagine what is controversial about that. I think that is the most pro-life position of all, pro-quality of life. I think it is very, very important we stand firm and not yield to the flat Earth caucus on this issue.”
