Ep. 127: Hope for Southern Baptists with Infertility

In June 2024, the Southern Baptist Convention voted on a resolution to formally condemn the use of IVF based primarily on the destruction of embryos. The SBC is one of the most pro-life denominations who emphasize the sanctity of life, and issues related to embryos are close to them. But what about the women and couples who want to honor the moral/ethical concerns with IVF but are struggling to conceive a pregnancy? There is hope for these couples! Certified FertilityCare Practitioner, Caitlin Estes, breaks down the approach of IVF and contrasts it with other available infertility treatment approaches that have no ethical or moral considerations. IVF is not the only option for couples struggling with infertility!
