I’m so glad my parents didn’t have the OPTION to terminate ME before I was born! I didn’t have a normal leg. It was missing bones and a foot. But, I managed to grow up with an artificial leg. A new one every year. I’m now 67 and have had an amazing life! A wonderful marriage, children and grandchildren ❤
My mom told me I would have been aborted had it been legal then..
i understand as my Mum had Ruebella and she was told that i would be born Deaf and Blind with a high possibility of being Mute also. She was told to abort me. I am 67 shortly i am almost deaf and sight is going but SO grateful for being here. I am a Widow ... Mum, Grandma and Gramme to 3 wonderful Great Grandkids =)
@@KidCity1985 how horrible for you to be told that. Thankful you are here.
@@michdancer13 pretty weird huh, I don't blame her.
As the saying says no good deed goes un punished love the podcasts ❤😊
I have a nephew who is Down's Syndrome. He just started pre-school. His parents were given the option of abortion, only because he had Downs and some bowel issues. They told the doctors that was not an option. He is Heaven's gift to our family. He is adorable and learning and just so cute and funny. Our life is better because he is in it.
Down syndrome kids are the best.
They are the most loving people I have ever met.
I was given the option to terminate my pregnancy with my 14 year old because she had markers in my bloodwork for downs. She has adhd but is otherwise quite healthy. It blows my mind how easy these offers and suggestions can be made.
@@jbloom1981same with my daughter I was so upset that they even suggested it. My daughter is perfectly beautiful and is very intelligent with no downs. What are those people in the labs doing? What are they are up to? 🤔
I have a down syndrome daughter .. she is now 41yrs old .. she has the congenital heart condition... the doctor's said she was palliative when she was 5 ... I've lost count of the times they have told me she would be dead within weeks... she goes out every Saturday night to the local bar to watch the band ... she dances the whole evening and normally ends up singing at least one song with the artist... she's an absolute character... most people who meet her love her .. her 4 siblings love her to bits, and so do her 7 nieces and nephews ... she will leave a great hole in all our lives when her heart eventually gives up xx
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Our son and daughter-in-law couldn’t conceive naturally and opted for IVF. Result - 3 eggs. This gave us twins, then two years later, one more. None left behind. We’re grateful it was possible.
At least no life was created and left to never exist sadly not the case for many.
I'm a retired NICU nurse. After more than 2 decades in that area, I learned a few things. One of them was "just because you can doesn't mean you should." The IVF issue is complicated indeed! Thank you for addressing it the way you did. No judgment, just facts. Well done!
It was a great conversation, very informative and not judgemental thank you for being always so honest❤
Side note on your comment...😯 That's my suggested response to a friend for people who say things.. Just because they can.. And maybe they shouldn't? 🤣
Have a great day🙏🏽❤️
You have built a trusting relationship with your followers. When haters comment about you taking what isn't yours and saying ugly things.......it's just saying they are SOOOOOOO jealous of your lifestyle and your morals!
Keep doing what you are doing and BE PROUD!!!!!
Amen!
Embodiment of Satan!
I so agree with this!!
AMEN . . . AMEN
I look at this podcast as a chance to hear about and attempt to understand different issues. Doesn’t mean we agree but I believe it is an opportunity to learn new thins.
There will always be haters… keeping doing what you guys do with so much love!
ALWAYS. There are just some people who CAN'T be happy, so they make others miserable. It's like they get PLEASURE out of it. Sad.
I agree with you 💯
I had the honor and pleasure to be a high school personal Special Ed Assistant for five years to a young girl with Down Syndrome. She was so much kinder, loving, and caring than any other human I have ever met. Sadly, her heart was weak and she passed away during the school year. BTW: I have donated to your toy drive every year and not once questioned your honesty and true desire to help ill children and their families. God Bless You!
I worked for 5 years in a special needs class, I loved every bit of it, not one child to me wasn't not adorable in their own way. I loved them, just as they loved me in their special way.
Melissa, people who say those ugly things are judging you by their heart, not yours. You know that you and your family have given more than you collected and you have helped children and their families. Don’t let the evil sayers and doers affect you negatively.
Oh my... the story about what you went through while pregnant with Kiera. It brought me to tears. It happened to us too back in 2020 during the pandemic. The trisomy scare, down syndrome, option to terminate pregnancy and the fear of the unknown. We hold on to our faith in God and trusted that his will be done. Four years later, we have a healthy, happy and lovely baby girl. 😊
No matter how much good you do, evil is always eager to present itself and put a damper on things. Stay encouraged and keep serving with passion...the rest of us see your hearts helping those in need.
I went through fertility as hubby and I were having challenges. We didn’t get as far as IVF, as I didn’t want to go that far. We were lucky as almost 3 years after starting, I got pregnant with twins! We were married 10 years before they came along - I’m truly blessed!
You are such a wonderful family we all understand just how hurt you must be with people so nasty to say such bad things we the people that follow you we no you are honest kind and honourable its a shame our world has gone down this road keep smiling
Thank you for sharing this. They are an honest family and do all kinds of awesome things for others.
I’m just so appalled at people’s behavior now. It’s disheartening. The good news is that there are good people out there and you just have to weed out the bad ones.
I cannot believe anyone could accuse your family of theft!!!! Your whole deal is about dreams, hard work, ethics, doing for others!!!!!!! SHAME on the haters!!!
My granddaughter used to always say, "don't be ugry". Unfortunately even at 4 years old she knew about the world. Anyone who has watched you guys for any time at all - we KNOW where your heart is. I haven't seen what you're referring to, probably don't want to. Sometimes my heart can't take much of the world. But, we're with you! Hang in there.........
Forgive me, this is my third comment.....this is a topic I have strong convictions about. I had three children, zero ultrasounds. Ultrasounds are themselves unhealthy for babies as it raises their body temperature as one example, and should be reserved for when there are concerns. Pregnancy and childbirth are not illnesses or diseases which require constant intervention. I've known many situations where mothers are told their children have all sorts of health issues, the mother stresses the entire pregnancy rather than enjoying it. Then the baby is born perfectly healthy. I wish everyone would do a little more research on ALL medical procedures, including screenings such as ultrasounds. 🙏
I had IVF and am blessed with twins. It is an emotional roller coaster I don’t wish anyone to go through. I was lucky God made the choice and I didn’t have to freeze any. I would do it over again but I had a wonderful doctor that we trusted. I had multiple medical issues causing infertility. I am blessed and will stand up any day for my decision. But you need to research and with your doctor make the best decision for your family. I always say to my kids until you have walked in their shoes you will never understand it fully. That is any topic or situations.
How did you pay for it?? They all say IVF is an option but only if you have money🤔
The Smiths first IVF failed during Covid and it devastated them. It was amazing that they had the courage to try again and had miracle after miracle around the second IVF pregnancy and Maverick's birth. Their whole walk of faith throughout as they began healing from River's loss to the joy Mavvie has brought them, is truely inspirational.
Wow! Deep subject and thanks for starting the conversation. As the father of four daughters, three (triplets) conceived through IVF this is so tough. We initially had two embryos that were implanted. None took. Our second round resulted in three embryos. We implanted all three and all three took. We never had to make a decision about what to do with any "leftover' embryos thankfully. BUT... I do very distinctly remember a point where the clinic came to us and explained the risk of multiples, especially triplets and more. They told us that now was the time for "selective reduction". It took us a small fraction of a second to say 'no way". I can't imagine which one of my girls would not be here right now. Brings a tear to my eye. Love your videos, thanks again for not being afraid to have the tough conversations.
These are the reasons my hubby and I did NOT do IVF. When living in Quebec, they offered it for FREE. While I had 4 sons, my second hubby never had his own biological child and we lost 10 babies. We had a friend who offered to donate her eggs, but then I learned they fertilized more than they would implant. A person who believes that life begins at conception, I could not give a child away, allow to die or abandon! So we never got the free IVF! Hubby and I are now 56 (me) and 49 are trying to adopt though the Alberta gov.
My cousin had seven children through IVF. Within that six she had two sets of twins. She chose to pay to store the remaining embryos. She feels bad, but can’t imagine “donating” her own children to strangers, including family members. It’s a real ethical dilemma.
Doesnt add up. Do your math again.
Basically, the other couple would be adopting them ❤ And the process would be however you want it to be, and open or closed adoption.
Melissa! I so appreciate your intelligent thought process ❤ and Jeremy, your discerned reserve ❤ what a great complement ❤
So much of this smacks of Hitler’s agendas. I also worked in SpEd. ❤❤❤
Your discussion today reminded me of a book I read a long time ago called “My Sister’s Keeper,” about a younger sister her parents had specifically so that she could donate, I think it was her bone marrow, when/if her older sister needed it. It was pretty heartbreaking for the child, and made her feel invisible and disposable at the same time.
There was actually a Movie made of the book. A very sad scenerio indeed!!
Please continue your charitable work. You know in your hearts you’re doing a good thing. It’s a blessing for us to watch. Thank you.
Your social media is different than others, as a 62 year old, i love the content, construction and life’s lessons. You even turned down a tv show out of respect for your children. That’s refreshing. So keep your head up, keep thriving, can’t wait to see the next project on your farm. Peace and blessings.
A friend of mine donated her eggs. She later received 2 letters via the ivf clinic telling her she had made 2 family's dreams come true . She is absolutely fine knowing there are two children in the world that she helped to make, she doesn't think of them as hers, she is just so happy to have given 2 couples the chance to become family's ❤xx
Jealousy is a fiery fuel for hate. Ignore those whiny babies.
Thank you for talking about the moral dilemma of IVF. As a parent who was unable to conceive naturally we chose to stop all medical interventions and chose adoption. We have two beautiful daughters and 8 grandchildren. We have never regretted our decision.
Allie Beth Stuckey also has strong opinions about surrogacy. This goes hand-in-hand with this as well. She has guests who have been affected by surrogacy.
My opinion is that we should not be messing around with any of this.
My husband’s parents left him at his grandparents (who had a farm) at the age of 6 weeks. Even thought his grandparents were wonderful, caring people, growing up as a child was hard for him. He did not know where he truly belonged. His parents refused to allow his grandparents to adopt him, yet they did not want him. Other children’s parents came for parent/teacher conference, but he had none. He recalls, one time his parents came and took him to their home to stay for 2 weeks, then returned him back to his grandparents. His Aunts and Uncles visited the farm with their children (his cousins). He felt out of place and would leave the house with his dog and go fishing by himself at the creek. Once a year, his parents visited with his younger sister. He asked his grandfather why this parents did not want him. That created much sadness throughout his whole life. His grandparents both passed away when he was in his early 20’s. In his case, he wished his parents had let his grandparents adopt him. Media tries to paint a pretty picture about abortion or adoption; however, I know for a fact, a mother who gives away a baby or has an abortion, will have mental health issues in later life.
So sad 😢 Prayers 🙏🙏
Senior citizen here…..I learn a lot from you guys…..things I would otherwise know nothing about!
I went through infertility treatment up to the point of IVF, then stopped. Once my doctor explained “selective reduction” I had to stop. Wanting a baby so desperately, how could I possibly allow any of them to be killed? Still makes me nauseous to even think about. I will never understand why or how so many people think it is ok. Haven’t we evolved enough as a species for everyone to appreciate the gift of life😢
I really see the struggle of social media as a high school CTE teacher and knowing what boundaries need to be set and also as a parent feeling blessed my children just missed that as they were part of the "90's" culture- so much has changed. We ALL struggle with knowing how to navigate it in a responsible way and the bittersweet reality of its deep influence. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing!
There will always be haters. You and your family do wonderful things for a lot of people. Do not let the negative comments get to you. Keep doing what you're doing and blessing so many families.
My dear friends, what a joy it was to hear your opinions and convictions about life and the creation there of. I have a grand nephew who was born with Down syndrome, and what a joy he is to be with. He has such a forgiving heart, and when he runs to greet me, he wants be be hugged, and at times wants to go on a drive with me. He can also be a stinker some times, and tries to manipulate disagreeable situations into his favor, by thinking he can get his way if he pleads long enough. Nothing is his fault when he does something wrong, and his siblings get the blame. He is a loving boy, and occasionally loves to learn new things. He is with us for at least one reason, and that reason I find iw to make me forget myself, and show my love for others by putting them before me. Thank you again for sharing your values!!!!
Don't let the haters bring your aloha spirit down. You do great work with your incredible kokua for people in need. I am always amazed at how hard you all work to complete your yearly project. Keep up the good work!! Aloha nui!!
Your topic and coverage of this subject “won me back” to your channel. I greatly appreciate your preparation and honesty with the IVF issue!
New World, new challenges, decisive lines being drawn and contradictory political avenues. Your family is fantastic and your homestead the BEST ON UA-cam!
The IVF discussion is so sad. The industry, and it is an industry, preys on people who want a child so desperately they will ignore the moral and ethical issues. The thought of using an embryo for science experiments is horrifying.
Exactly. Life begins at conception.
Remember that you do not get to decide the moral and ethical issues for anyone but yourself.
@@ronaldnielson8591 Says who? Something is moral or ethical or its not. And a society will decide that, not any one person.
@@ronaldnielson8591 Prisons tell me that you're full of it.
@@jarateman6427 so if society decides that euthanasia of persons over the age of productivity is a moral and ethical thing to do , you're fine with that?
Please don't ever stop being the people that you are. I totally enjoy your channels & your daughter's channel. I am a father of 3. I am a 100% service-connected veteran. I wish back in my younger days I would have been able to save and do what you have done in your life. I believe the way you are raising your children and showing the world your life is just an amazing thing! You are showing parents that we can do better. You are showing kids getting to be kids. It is all just such a great experience getting to watch you when you put out a video. I hope more families live their life the way that you do. Thank you
I have been watching your channel since y'all moved to Idaho! I love watching your channel! I know, after watching for several years, that y'all are wonderful parents with wonderful children! Continue your work for God's Kingdom and forget the naysayers! God bless and keep up your amazing work. Much love and support! ❤️🙏
My daughter-in-law implanted two embryos, one didn't take and the other one calls me grandma. We prayed for this little miracle and God answered our prayers.
If it's not to help humans, I don't think there's anything good behind it.🙌🏼🙏🏼
That story about Miss Kera is awesome and we all love her happy spirit. Love your thoughts on the subject.
I love that you two tackle the hard, real life issues that are as old as time. Nothing is new under the sun. We must trust God and his infinite wisdom. He sees the whole picture from beginning to end. Any interference in this matter is playing God. I also believe, only since I'm older and can now look back with somewhat 20/20 vision, that any birth control is not allowing God to be God. We, every human, will stand before God one day and give an account. Thank you for bringing these hard issues to light, keep doing with what you are doing. Would appreciate your thoughts on birth control. God bless you all.
Our daughter in law had PCOS and was not able to get pregnant. They decided to proceed with IVF which was very expensive and painful for her. They had 11 embryos and the first time had 3 implanted that resulted in our beautiful twin granddaughter and her twin brother. In two years they had 3 more implanted which resulted in another set of twins which my daughter in law lost one at 2 months and the other at 3. This did not deter them from having another 3 implanted. The results of that was their third child our grandson who is now 11. They were left with 2 which they kept frozen but made the decision of what to do which they never told anyone. It was a moral dilemma for them and they were criticized . I have never asked but we are blessed with these three to join our other 4 grandchildren.
This is why I think it should be up to the parents and not anyone else what they choose to do with the frozen embryos. I would never want to deny anyone from having children either.
My son is a IVF baby. He is now 24.
They told us the same for our 1st baby, because a nose bone wasn't not showing because of our ethnicity they sat us in a room and gave us "the talk" my husband was so mad, I was so confused, but never would've thought!
Our son is 7 and a healthy beautiful boy, my heart aches at the thought of how many healthy children are "discarded" but are actually perfectly healthy 😢 even if something was wrong our God is a mighty God!
The sunshine comes out whenever your podcast tunes in. Always excellent and useful content.
I have to say I love that you started today`s show by telling your wife how gorgeous she looks. If you are still doing that after 20 years together, you are destined to spend a lifelong, happy marriage. Well done Jeremy! As for the haters that accused you of stealing....grrrrrr!! You guys work so hard for this charity every Christmas, which makes it is a slap in the face that people accused you of stealing from it. Let the haters hate, and please don't stop doing this for this great charity every year. They appreciate it, as do so many of us. It must be difficult living part of your life online...it opens you up to all the haters and crazies. I am sorry you are having to endure this insanity. 99% of us know you are truly great and caring people. All you can do is ignore them now. As always, sending love from our acreage to yours.
Some organization is probably jealous they aren't benefiting from the donations.
Ignore the haters.
Very interesting podcast! Yall covered a lot of subjects!
Been following you and your family for the past four years and I'm heartbroken that someone would make those accusations about your pediatric cancer drive and toy drive. It almost brought me to tears. I know in my heart that you and your and your followers are nothing but pure gold. Never change! We love y'all!
The primary moral and ethical issue is that IVF commodifies children, particularly when surrogacy is used.
I don’t know if this is helpful, but someone once said to me, “Live your life in such a way that when people hear negative things/lies about you, they will automatically and immediately assume that it is not true.” I think that’s how we all feel about you out here. I’m sorry for the few who have deflated your joy. Stay true to your calling and serving these children. Glance at the naysayers and gaze at the noble purpose to which you have been called … making a difference for these families who are so grateful for you. Stay the course. We are cheering you on. 💕
I heard that for your next podcast you were getting visitors all the way from Waco Texas...Stay Positive people, Your doing a Great Job and bring Joy to all who view you...God Bless Your Family.
Awesome discussion! Thank you for courage to address it!
In psalm 139:16 it says that his eyes saw us as an embryo. Life begins at conception.
I was a special needs bus driver 25 years ago and one of my girls on my bus who had Down syndrome is still my best buddy. She is amazing. We live in such a throwaway society and no one cares about what is right and what is wrong.
Our daughter had her first two at age 25 and 28. When her youngest was 9, she decided she really wanted one more baby. So at 37, she conceived again. All her kids are healthy and smart and athletic. She and her husband are the happiest couple I know and their family is everything to them. Have that Last Baby. They are such a blessing.
That’s to be expected as far as people falsely accusing people they’re jealous of. Shake it off & pray for them. You guys are so incredibly generous. Love you guys!
Those of us who have been watching for year’s know your “Souls”. Please try to give no attention to the trolls! 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
My first child came out normal, my second child came out with Williams Syndrome and Autism, third child came out normal. All natural. I can say I love them all with all my heart and soul, gods gift to humanity. The IVF issue is very complicated.
Melissa and Jeremy, just so you know the can and do grow human skin in laboratories for burn victims and VA recipients. They have for years. My grandson was in a house fire and burnt over 97% of his body. Once we got him to shriners hospital in Galveston TX, his Dr's told me that with a small pencil eraser sized amount of skin they could grow a piece of skin that would cover a football field in 30 days. It's amazing what the medical profession can do. And this happened in 2004.
Thank you for always being transparent! We love and appreciate ALL you do for cancer kids and their families!!!! May God protect you as you carry on!
Wow! I'm gobsmacked that there are individuals accusing you of such hanous conduct. Wow...! Thanks for a great episode once again. Very thought-provoking and informative. God bless you and yours from South Africa.
There is SO much evil in the world! Your followers know your charitable work is true and honest. We know the work you do is important and allows us to help too. It's easy to say "ignore it" when you aren't the person on the receiving end. Looking forward to being able to help the pediatric cancer program again this year.
I’ve seen how hard your family has worked on the annual fundraiser. Heartbreaking to hear people are making disparaging comments. So very sorry and know that most of us support and appreciate your efforts.
There are always jealous spiteful people out there who will do their best to knock you down. Just keep going and doing what you do. To me you are above reproach. A genuine lovely family who I would inspire a lot of families to follow if ever they need guidance in how to live their lives. Stay strong and be proud of everything you have done for yourselves, your family and everyone you've helped with your charity work.
Please don't stop helping the cancer clinic. Your family has made an impact on these children and parents. Ignore the haters. We ❤ your family
Amen to that
I know three families who were told that their child had Downs syndrome but had a healthy child. My step daughter even had the amniocentesis done and it also came back positive. The doctor's office staff tried to convince her to have an abortion because she was only 21 and could have more children. She refused. Her son is now attending Duquesne University studying law. One of the other ladies also had amnio done and it came back positive. He just graduated from a Catholic High School and is on his way to college.
Both had very prominent foreheads, eye spacing and other features that fell on the downs syndrome scale. How many children were aborted who were "normal".
Dr. Robert Kiltz, MD is a board certified OB/GYN & Reproductive Endocrinologist and the founder, director, and head physician at CNY Fertility. He has had tremendous success using the CARNIVORE lifestyle for infertility problems. Very uplifting champion of diet for fertility.
I’m a married female who has been married for 51 years. I’ve NEVER EVER had ANY desire to have children. Let alone at 40 years old. I’m 68 years old with no regrets. Hubby feels the same.
I have a beautiful nephew who is now age 29. I have unconditional love for him. He has had open heart surgery at the age of six months. He is such a love. Since the age of 16 he could do laundry, cook rice, egg, prepare sandwiches and he has been working a paying job since he made the age 18.
I also have work as an Educational Assistant in special education classes within the DOE. I love it.
WHAT!!!!!!!! You stealing? How can anyone ever believe something as ridiculous as that? Your whole family is kindness, and caring personified. I cannot understand how anyone could be so cruel to you. Why would anyone do or even think to do this. I have a theory, you have done what you have dreamed of and there are a lot of people out there who dream but will never follow up due to fear. I think there is a lot of jealousy in these false accusations. I thank you so much for all the joy you bring and will continue to bring to all those children. Love and hugs to you all💖
The "you can sneeze by me" comment..😅😂 I fkn lost it.😂
God Bless you guys for what you do ! 🙏🏼❤️
I’ve been following the two of you and your family forever, I want to commend you for your values. Our world needs more people like you out there
You make me smile. You make me laugh. You make me stop & think. You & your family are an inspiration to so many. You are a family that truly loves, respects & appreciates each other. You have God as your center & know the true value of family. I take such pleasure in watching you & your beautiful daughter’s videos. Your Christmas drive blesses so many children & their families. Thank You!!! Thank you with all my heart for taking the time out of your lives to do such an unselfish thing. You saw a need & took action. Thank You! ❤️❤️❤️
I think they should only be allowed to fertilize the number you are willing to implant. Don’t make it so expensive
Continue your inspiring work: Simplifying life to focus on what truly matters resonates with me. Charity drive was great. It's a tough to be a builder (building a house and a home and good content to inspire others). The destroyers choose destruction because they cannot or will not take the harder path. I think most of us understand and appreciate the tougher path.
I've actually read project 2025. It is indeed a part of the plan. It saddens me that the possibility of IVF, being illegal. People have fertility issues, it should be their decision, not a government over reach & mandate. The majority of the items in Project 2025 are scary at best. We will all suffer one way or another .
You really need to watch the film The Island. The premise is human beings are grown to either provide spare parts for their ‘donor’ or to replace them if the ‘donor’ dies. There is also a very underrated film starring Rock Hudson called Seconds. Where a man in his sixty’s receives the ultimate in spare part surgery/cosmetic enhancement and becomes the man played by Rock Hudson. It is one of only about 3 films that gives me nightmares. (None of them are horror films). In this instance it is his sudden screams of realisation at the end as to where the spare parts come from.
The lab growing skin kinda/sorta reminds me of the face of a stingray
@@ROBINstrawBERRYwine had not realised that but now you mentioned you are spot on. 🤔🤔🤔
I love your podcast so much.
Great podcast! You covered so much in such a little time. Each week just keeps getting better 🥰
Jeremy and Melissa. I want to thank you for this podcast. I love that you are both very raw about what you think and feel about things. Like you said Melissa we don’t know people other then those we are closest to but, your character shines through and for that I appreciate it so much. Keep doing what you are doing and be a light to a dark world at times.
I was about to comment and tell you to watch Allie Beth Stuckey’s interview about IVF. But then you mentioned it yourself, I was so happy to hear she found you 🙏🏼😊 Glad it is getting more awareness!!
I know someone who was a surrogate. Some parents make you sign something that if it's down syndrome, you agree to have it aborted. She refused to surrogate for anyone who chose that path and went with parents who said they'd never abort. It's also hard to get insurance for the pregnancy and birth. One of the insur companies went out of the business and the hospital went after the surrogate for the cost.
I considered IVF as a single women. It became clear to me that I was unlikely to have the option of marriage but I wanted to have children. In the end I decided against it because I felt strongly that a father was so important that I did not want my child to miss that experience, support, guidance and love. It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. I understand that there are a lot of other issues but I can tell you this...I appreciate that I was allowed to make my own mind up. I would not have wanted the government to weigh in on my choice. For those of you who have been blessed with a traditional situation, please have a little compassion for those of us who have not. It is so easy to judge others without any understanding.
But the government and citizens have a duty to weigh in on murder and harming innocent babies. That’s what decent folks do. Indefinitely freezing an embryo is horrific. Destroying embryos is horrific. It’s not ok to discard human life just because it’s inconvenient. There is something very nefarious about creating a human life and then purposely killing it. That is twisted. There is nothing more compassionate than standing up for the innocent and voiceless victims.
I can appreciate your views. I count life as precious also. All things in life can be improved upon but taking personal rights away from individuals doesn't even line up with God's design. Since the beginning God gave us free will. He wants us to go through the process of choosing Him over all other things. He wants us to think through everything with His desires in mind. To sacrifice our will for His. Government should not be tell a woman that she can not have children. I believe the solution to IVF and abortion is education and providing options not in thecontrolling the decision making process. The hideous back alley abortions of my youth will become common once again if we are not careful. My guess is that you have been blessed with children. Probably with no effort. And I hope with a husband that loves them as much as you do. If you feel strongly about your stand then find alternatives. I am sure that those who have gone through IVF would be willing to save their embryos if given a solid alternative to disposal.
@@wendytravis6427You believe they are a human beings though not everyone and that’s the problem. The government shouldn’t be telling people no because on the belief that an embryo that is just cells right now is a person being killed and bringing religion into this when that’s supposed to be separate from government decisions.
I’m not sure why abortion or IVF should be open to community decision making. While parenthood was never anything I wanted or would have been good at, I have friends who have ended their pregnancy (for a wide variety of reasons) and some who have resorted to IVF and some who have had both. They did what was right for them and their families. Parenthood is a role that is way too important to go into half heartedly. Haven’t we all seen parents who could or would not actually parent their offspring? While I certainly have personal views of what should be done with unused embryos, that too should be left to the donors (for lack of better description). I’m confused and frustrated by those who say they want to limit government yet who insist upon having a say in what people do with their own bodies.
As a personal question for the universe, I have to wonder how many of the changes we’re seeing (growing rates of infertility, gender dysphoria, etc.) is at least partially due to the way we have impacted our environment. I’m 68 and my mother’s generation may have been the beginning of taking drugs of convenience (“diet” pills, Valium, etc.). So, not just street recreational drugs (my generation) but prescribed by some doctor for “valid” reasons. Think about the chemicals and just plain garbage that have been and continue to be discarded into our waterways and elsewhere. Isn’t it possible (probable, even) that all of that has an impact on our gene pool? I’m no scientist but it’s hard to believe that what we do to our earth would not impact the human race as well.
Shame for the people thinking badly of you.
You both 💙💓 love others and gives your family time and support 🙏❣️ amazing things you do for others 🙏❣️
Always enjoy listening to you both discuss issues or topics whether light hearted or not. Thanks for sharing this with us and blessings to you and your family!
I agree , with you both . Will always remember the Terminator. Wow, I never looked at in vitro fertilization like that. I took it as they’re helping people have a family .
This was a difficult podcast to watch but I did; subjects are important to know and thought provoking. As a senior, today is so challenging because people's intentions seem much more directed at being self-serving, and I have to discern many do not work on the same moral compass as myself. Giving others the "benefit of the doubt" causes me more pause, because I have to listen more carefully at my inner voices and respond accordingly. I have always seen your family having good intentions which makes it easy to be a subscriber.
I admire your opinion & courage, these discussions are very important. I hope people will take the time to research before making difficult decisions. ❤
Your charity efforts were well documented and appreciated. it’s so sad that some people like to create chaos. I hope they reflect & realize that they were completely off base.😔 Keep on being good human beings.❤
Thank you for being bold enough to share the things that are challenging and bring conversations to the forefront. Your family is so amazing and gives me at least a shred of hope for the future generations knowing that there are still people like you that raise their children right. Hugs to your family from a fellow North Idaho resident.
Love your podcast I would not have my grandson without IVF my son and daughter inlaw had a hard time getting pregnant.

Keep doing what you’re doing Souza fam! Don’t let the haters stop you from blessing those children & families. You’ve got a great audience here & we’re behind you guys all the way! 🤙🏼
The idea of innocent children becoming a science experiment is absolutely terrifying.

This is such a moral issue..
When we are human from conception & our spirit is intact, ready to grow.
What people aren't getting is Wade V Roe isn't about abortion being right or wrong; it’s about the right to choose. That’s what we are fighting for the right to choose. You may not think abortion is correct, but why should I have to believe the same?
Ugh…Because it results in the murder of an innocent child…how is that fact completely lost on you?
