IVF clinics do not report the exact number of embryos that are killed in their care, but clinics normally extract between 10 and 15 eggs for one treatment. According to the IVF clinic chain Illume Fertility, if the clinic extracts 12 eggs, about 80% — nine or 10 eggs — will be viable and about 80% of viable eggs will successfully fertilize to create embryos — making about seven or eight embryos per patient.
The CDC estimates that more than 238,000 patients attempted IVF in 2021. If clinics created between seven and eight embryos for every patient, that would yield about 1.6 million to 1.9 million over a year. Despite these high numbers, fewer than 100,000 embryos were brought to term, which suggests that somewhere between 1.5 million and 1.8 million embryos created through IVF were never born.
Alternatively, the abortion industry claimed about 985,000 lives from July 2022 through June 2023 — suggesting that the IVF industry could be ending nearly twice as many human lives every year.
The substantial majority of embryos were either intentionally killed or died at some point in the IVF process.

IVF - In Vitro Fertilization - kills between 1.5 to 1.8 million unborn babies a year. Yet pro lifers support it. Abortion kills 985,000 unborn babies a year. Pro lifers are against it. This doesn't make sense. The carnage for IVF, which is forbidden to Catholics by the Catholic church, is through the roof.
A person can't say they are pro life if they support IVF. For every live baby that comes out of IVF, a handful of siblings are dead.

So, it's all about guilt versus innocence for you, not the sanctity of life.
You misunderstand on purpose when confronted.

What I wanna know it, since frozen embryos are children in Alabama now, will they start opening frozen day care centers and long term care centers for parents who work or want to take a cruise or something, without the children? People should be able to just drop off and deep freeze their children while they take some time for themselves, or work.

Sure they can. I know plenty of pro-life people who support the death penalty, civilian casualties in war and sending otherwise innocent, would-be refugees back to their country to be murdered. Not to mention how so many pro-life people also support Medicaid and Medicare cuts, and other cuts to our social safety net programs, that save lives.
