Do you have an example of any pro-life lawmaker, pundit, anyone demanding that all embryos from IVF be kept?

This person is in no way interested in facts, they'll move the goalposts again after it becomes widespread practice.

I seem to be the only one interested in facts rather than hysterical speculation. The facts are nobody can produce a law or proposed law banning contraception or IVF or requiring every embryo to be used.

What's been produced so far is an article from 2005 (above) about a handful of extreme conservative groups, which has clearly gone nowhere in the past 17 years and a video of Ben Shapiro, whose only job is to say provocative bullshit.

Okay, I will make a note to reply to you again when these things come to pass.

At some point, you have to admit that the "hysterical speculation" is really just foresight given current events.

Will you admit it then? I honestly am happy waiting to reply till then.

Yes, Ben Shapiro. IVF is slippy slope. Don't make any more embryos than you will implant and carry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cETGY6U9wfQ

This is a natural result of placing the cutoff at conception.

No, it's not the natural result of anything. Like I said above, laws are very specifically worded in what they allow and prohibit. They are written by and for human beings. They are not computer programs which mindlessly execute every possible logical consequence.
