We have been getting asked a lot: how can I support Rethinking Fertility? One simple answer: a paid Substack subscription for $8/month. It funds the research and conversations that matter. We are so grateful for your support!  rethinkingfertility.substack…

"Our loose approach to IVF has left millions of human embryos in indefinite storage, many destined to be discarded." We're delighted to see our creative director Neel and host @emlwaters speak with @DailySignal about the Trump admin's pro-life efforts on embryo adoption. Link 👇

As the first adopted frozen embryo, this matters deeply to me ✨✨ I was once a tiny human being living in frozen storage. Today, I am a licensed social worker advocating for the dignity of every embryonic child still waiting. Policies that recognize embryos as children worthy of protection are a step toward acknowledging what science has always shown: human life begins at fertilization. Thank you to everyone working to ensure that frozen embryos are given the chance at life 🎉🎉 dailysignal.com/2026/06/10/t…

Are smartphones the most effective form of birth control? Have reproductive technologies, including IVF, resulted in fewer births over the years? And, did HHS rightly call human embryos children-not merely a "clump of cells" or "potential life"? Substack: open.substack.com/pub/rethin…

@emlwaters tackles the declining fertility debate head-on and asks what few dare to: What if the very technologies that promised us more freedom, more control, and more opportunity are the real problem?

Judging by my replies, it’s time for Biology 101. Embryos are not sperm cells. Embryos are not egg cells. An embryo is a new human organism formed at fertilization. Class dismissed 🎓

If Christians actually knew what IVF entails, support for the industry would collapse. Pieces like this are important 👇🏻
The problem isn’t a lack of conviction; it’s a lack of knowledge.  Evangelical Christians have been the backbone of the pro-life movement—but if we’re being honest, we haven’t been consistent when it comes to our support for IVF and other reproductive technologies. (1/4)

Check this out! It's time to rethink fertility from the perspective of the rights of children.
