flag US Catholic bishops urge Congress to reject IVF insurance mandate citing ethical concerns.

flag Catholic bishops across the U.S. are urging Congress to reject the HOPE for Fertility Services Act, which would mandate insurance coverage for in vitro fertilization, citing ethical concerns over the destruction of human embryos, threats to religious freedom, and the commodification of life. flag In a letter dated April 29, bishops argue that the bill, even if placed under ERISA, could force religious employers to provide coverage against their beliefs, potentially triggering years of legal battles. flag While acknowledging the pain of infertility, the bishops promote restorative reproductive medicine that addresses underlying issues without creating embryos outside the body.
