Newt suggests IVF is immoral

Newt Gingrich, a known pro-lifer, has recently attacked the regulation of clinics performing in vitro fertilization procedures.  He doesn't outright say it, but he's basically implying that the practice of IVF is immoral, because of the left over embryos that are never transferred.

Parents have to make a tough decision if they have completed their family: either destroy the unused embryos, donate them to science, or donate them to another couple for adoption.  It is assumed that Newt finds the first two options unacceptable.

My first reaction to the TIME article below is to disagree that this might not be such a bad idea, but I do like the statement made by Julia Shapiro that while perhaps these are ongoing issues that need to considered, legislation is not the answer.

Just another reason (out of many) not to vote for this guy.
