As abortion opponents target IVF, they’re promoting fertility clinics like this one
Social conservatives have pushed restorative reproductive medicine as an alternative to IVF. Doctors worry that could limit access to the most effective form of infertility treatment.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

AP has the better headline. Since most readers don’t get beyond the headlines (especially on social media), they highlight the cause of the starvation upfront: the Trump regime.
