CV NEWS FEED // The Catholic Conference of Illinois has issued a statement opposing Illinois’s in vitro fertilization (IVF) advisory referendum, which will be on the state ballot for November.
The Conference reports that the referendum reads: “Should all medically appropriate assisted reproductive treatments, including, but not limited to, in vitro fertilization (IVF), be covered by any health insurance plan in Illinois that provides coverage for pregnancy benefits, without limitation on the number of treatments?”
The Conference states that although advisory referendums only ask the opinion of voters, and do not change the law, Catholics should still vote against the referendum.
While the Church recognizes the struggle of infertile couples, the Conference continues, “the path of IVF cannot be supported.”
