While the Republican Party grapples with the realization that its losing elections thanks to its own extreme positions on abortion and IVF, one political candidate on the national stage has decided to go even more extreme on the issue.
Robert F. Kennedys vice presidential pick, Nicole Shanahan, has attacked in vitro fertilization for years, and is apparently doing the heavy lifting on more extreme conservative talking points on reproductive rights while Kennedy himself remains relatively quiet. It became abundantly clear that we just dont have enough science for the things that we are telling and selling women, Shanahan told the Australian Financial Review in February, referring to IVF. Its one of the biggest lies thats being told about womens health today.
Shanahans beef with IVF reportedly began when she was turned away as a candidate for the procedure, with a clinic identifying her as a poor candidate due to a prior diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome, according to an interview she gave to The New Yorker last year.
Since then, Shanahan has invested millions into research that offers alternatives to the procedure, including funding some truly wacky ideas, like examining the effects of two hours of morning sunlight on reproductive health.
