Trump pushes IVF to help families — but it ‘kills more babies than abortion’
President Donald Trump has announced initiatives to expand access to in vitro fertilization and reduce associated costs — as each round of IVF can cost $12,000 to $25,000 — and one round is often not all it takes.
“In the Trump administration, we want to make it easier for all couples to have babies, raise children,” Trump said at the White House on October 16.
“That’s why today I’m pleased to announce that after extensive negotiations, EMD Serrano, the largest fertility drug manufacturer in the world, has agreed to provide massive discounts to all fertility drugs they sell in the United States, including the most popular drug of all, the IVF drug,” he continued.
While many Republicans have cheered Trump’s announcement, BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey is not on the same page.
“Trump says that, you know, he’s unaware of conservative religious objections to IVF, but IVF is inherently pro-life. And I’ll just say it doesn’t surprise me at all that Trump has this position. IVF is extremely popular, even among Republicans, and he represents the position that a lot of people have,” Stuckey says.
“But let me just explain something,” she continues. “The pro-life position is not just ‘more babies.’ We want more babies that are conceived in loving marriages between a man and a woman. Being pro-life doesn’t mean that we are pro every form of conception. Obviously, we can agree, right, that not every form of conception is moral and ethical.”
“There is a cost to IVF. In fact, most babies, most embryos that are made via IVF, the vast majority of those embryos will never be transferred and will never make it to a live birth. In fact, the IVF industry kills more babies every year than the abortion industry does,” she explains.
“If we really believe in our pro-life ethics, that a life is a life no matter how small, that human life starts at conception, then how we treat those embryos that are created in a lab that are frozen indefinitely, that are very often eugenically discarded because they’re the wrong gender or they have Down syndrome or they have some other kind of disability or they were just that unlucky extra guy that was created and their parents don’t want them anymore,” she says.
“All of that really matters. It’s not only about not killing a baby inside the womb. It’s about not discarding and mistreating life that has been created,” she adds.

'Misplaced mothering': No Kings anti-Kirk protesters reveal a culture in crisis
Tensions over the legacy of Charlie Kirk reached a boiling point at the No Kings protests that took place over the weekend, where furious demonstrators hurled slurs at the late conservative leader and cheered his death.
“Charlie Kirk is a piece of garbage. Of course, we were mean. I am so tired of people saying, ‘Oh, but you know it’s a terrible thing.’ No. Hitler is dead. I’m glad Hitler’s dead. Evil people have no place in my world. He was a hateful human being. It was disgusting the things that he said and did,” one woman told the Daily Signal at a No Kings protest.
“This could be someone’s grandmother. Probably not. Probably not. And this is actually a consequence of the childlessness epidemic that we have in society, that you have all of these just, like, listless people who don’t know where to direct their energy,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey says.
Stuckey calls it a phenomenon of “misplaced mothering” that’s common among older white women.
“And because they are not channeling their God-given mothering instincts into people, into their own children, into the next generation in some way, they are channeling it in directions that are not actually healthy,” she explains.
“And so they believe that they are mothering the migrant, that they are mothering the criminal, that they are mothering the people who are on the margins of society. And so this makes them feel better, but it’s actually a lazy way to demonstrate that you’re a good person, which means you’re not a good person at all,” she continues.
“In the same way that socialism is like outsourcing your compassion to the government, this social justice is outsourcing your virtue to the government,” she adds.
In another clip from the protest, Nathan Hughes was conducting man-on-the-street-style interviews with some of the protesters. His interaction with two of the protesters, who were upset that he was wearing a “for Charlie” shirt, has gone viral — and for good reason.
“You get triggered because it has ‘Charlie’ on there, right?” Hughes asked the protesters.
“Because he was a racist! Because he was a misogynist! And that means that you are, too, because you support him,” she screamed. “Get out!”
Another protester chimed in: “He hated anyone that wasn’t white, that wasn’t male, that wasn’t straight.”
“Okay, well, as someone who is not male, I can say that Charlie didn’t hate me, didn’t hate his wife, didn’t hate his daughter,” Stuckey comments.
“These people in these videos are very, very unwell. That is true,” she continues, noting that she doesn’t believe it’s just a “mental health crisis.”
“I actually think that’s just an excuse for evil, because evil really exists, and it’s evil that can make you very stupid. Sin makes you stupid, and iniquity makes you insane. We can use those alliterations,” she says.
And Stuckey points out that while the protesters believe they’re protesting tyranny, they’re the ones who have made it clear that they love tyranny the most.
“These are the very people who wanted to force kids to wear masks, who wanted you to be fired from your job if you didn’t get an experimental vaccine. These are the very same people that support taking children out of their parents’ homes if their parents don’t affirm the stated gender identity of a person,” she says.
“You know which side the Democrats would have been on in 1776,” she adds.

Miracle, ‘man of steel,’ or mystery? Surgeon’s shocking words about Charlie Kirk’s wound
Following Charlie Kirk's assassination, Turning Point USA spokesman and executive producer of the “Charlie Kirk Show" Andrew Kolvet revealed new details about the shooting that even doctors are calling a miracle.
According to Kolvet, the surgeon who operated on Kirk claimed that the high-velocity bullet was powerful enough to kill multiple large animals — and “should have gone through” his body.
But for some reason, Kirk’s body was able to stop it.
“I want to address some of the discussion about the lack of an exit wound with Charlie,” Kolvet wrote in a post on X.
“The fact that there wasn’t an exit wound is probably another miracle, and I want people to know,” Kolvet continued, explaining that he had spoken with the surgeon who worked on Charlie in the hospital.
“He said the bullet ‘absolutely should have gone through, which is very very normal for a high powered, high velocity round. I’ve seen wounds from this caliber many times and they always just go through everything. This would have taken a moose or two down, an elk, etc,’” he recalled.
“But it didn’t go through. Charlie’s body stopped it,” he added.
When he mentioned to the doctor that there were “dozens of staff, students, and special guests standing directly behind Charlie” when he was shot, the doctor reportedly replied, “It was an absolute miracle that someone else didn’t get killed.”
“His bone was so healthy and the density was so so impressive that he's like the man of steel,” Kolvet recalls the doctor saying.
While BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey notes that “some people aren’t buying that,” she says that she doesn’t have a reason not to.
“Of course I believe it’s possible for God to do anything. And he’s saying it’s miraculous. And miraculous means that it goes beyond reason or even the laws of physics,” she says. “And so I have no reason to believe that this is untrue.”

The Bible does support the death penalty. Here's why.
Pope Leo’s recent remarks linking abortion and the death penalty have reignited the age-old debate over whether someone can truly be “pro-life” while supporting capital punishment — but BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey says the answer is an unequivocal yes.
“When he’s talking about the death penalty not being pro-life, then what he is essentially saying is that God is not pro-life because God is the one that commands the death penalty,” Stuckey says.
“God says in Genesis 9, ‘Whoever sheds the blood of man by man shall his blood be shed. For God made man in his own image,’” she explains.
“The answer to, ‘Does it still apply today? Because is it still true today?’ is yes,” Stuckey says. “God still makes us in his image. We are still made in God’s image. So we read right there that the reason for the death penalty for murder is because of the value of human beings, and the value of human beings as image-bearers of God has not changed.”
“Then that means that that is still a good punishment for murder. That doesn’t mean that it has to always be the punishment for murder,” she continues.
Throughout scripture, Stuckey points out that “God gives mercy to certain people,” but it doesn’t “negate the command.”
“God actually gives the death penalty for a variety of crimes in ancient Israel. But we as Christians don’t have to abide by all of the ceremonial and cleansing laws of ancient Israel because Jesus has become our cleansing. He has become our sacrifice,” she explains.
And it’s not just in Genesis 9 where this same principle is reflected, but also in the New Testament.
“In Romans 13, we read that the government is instituted by God to bear the sword against the evildoer. That’s not just an analogy. That is a symbol of execution. That is a God-ordained government directive to restrain evil."
While some make the argument that one of the Ten Commandments is “thou shall not kill,” Stuckey explains that it’s actually “thou shall not murder.”
“Murder and killing aren’t the same thing. If you are killing someone in self-defense, that’s not murder. If it is a just war and you are killing someone, that is not murder,” she says.
“So I am actually pro-life for the same reason that I am pro-death-penalty, because I care about innocent life. Because human beings are so important and so valuable that the crime of killing one of us is so hefty that the only commensurate punishment for it is execution,” she adds.

Allie Beth Stuckey’s Jubilee triumph stokes the fires of conservative Christian revival
On October 12, Los Angeles-based YouTube media company Jubilee dropped an episode of its popular series “Surrounded,” where 20 progressive Christians formed a ring around a single conservative Christian opponent. Over the course of nearly two hours, the surrounders competed for a chance to sit in the hot seat, where each contestant had a short window of time to debate the lone dissenter over a range of controversial issues.
To be in the eye of the storm — literally hemmed in by opponents who outnumber you 20 to one — is not for the weak of heart. It takes grit, self-control, an armory of rhetorical skills, and extensive expertise to stand a chance of holding your own.
But for Blaze Media’s very own Allie Beth Stuckey, host of the compelling podcast “Relatable,” it was just another day of dismantling progressive “Christian” narratives.
In an hour and 40 minutes, the “Toxic Empathy” author put on a clinic of what it looks like to crush liberal Christian arguments without ever forsaking the kindness Jesus calls us to. With surgical precision, Allie graciously picked apart argument after argument over marriage, gender, abortion, empathy, and the compatibility of progressivism and Christianity.
Using a wide range of scripture from both the Old and New Testaments, Allie made an iron case for conservative Christianity: God, the creator of the universe, gets the final say on everything. The Christian, regardless of his or her emotions or natural-born proclivities, is called to submit to God’s ways, trusting that He alone is perfect in love.
Allie condemned the progressive Christian tendency to read the Bible through the lens of “what can I get away with?” and encouraged reading scripture in search of “what God calls good.” Reading the Bible to glorify God, she argued, yields conservative convictions: Marriage unites one man and one woman, gender is fixed, abortion is a moral evil, and love speaks truth (1 Corinthians 13:6)
The episode has gone viral — already over 1.5 million views on YouTube. The conservative Christian world, which is experiencing revival after the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, has been in awe of Allie’s performance, specifically her articulate defense of traditional Christian values and ability to engage respectfully with opposing viewpoints while maintaining her convictions.
Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck said of Allie’s “Surrounded” appearance: "She's so happy. She's great."

Daily Wire host Matt Walsh echoed Glenn’s praise, claiming “God has clearly called [Allie] to do what she's doing.”
But Allie’s Jubilee appearance isn’t just a how-to course on debunking “Christian” progressivism. It embodies the question all conservative Christians must answer, especially given the moment we’re living in: Are we going to sit on the sidelines, hoping the lost find their way, or are we going to enter the fray armed with biblical truth?
Conservative media outlets have noted the importance of Allie’s Jubilee episode as a fire-starter for hesitant Christians who feel unequipped or unsure about engaging in theological debates.
Patriot Powered News Network praised Allie for doing what most of us wish we had the courage to do: “She stood resolute in her faith and made the left’s muddled theology look exactly like the moral confusion it is.”
Allie’s masterful skill in gracious apologetics was coached by none other than Charlie Kirk himself, whom Allie praised as “an incredible debater” on a recent episode of “Relatable,” where she recapped her Jubilee experience. A week before he was assassinated, Charlie urged Allie to agree to the debate, and he also taught her key strategies, like challenging opponents' claims with questions such as "Is that biblical?" and "By what standard do you believe that?"
Even though filming couldn’t have been scheduled for a worse time — just days after Charlie was murdered — Allie, committed to honoring God and her friend, bravely entered the “Surrounded” arena armed with the truth of scripture and a deep knowing that it “never returns void,” as she so often reminds her “Relatable” audience.
In an X post following the recording of “Surrounded,” Allie wrote, “I’ve seen a lot of people say this was different than other Jubilee debates. Everyone felt that in the moment — even the producers, who are progressive, said so. You’ll just have to believe me when I tell you the Holy Spirit was there.”
Her words are a reminder that we are not called to be self-reliant truth-tellers. The indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit is what empowers us to go forth boldly, bringing light where there is darkness.
The question is: Will we pick up the baton?
Last weekend, the 6,700 women who attended Allie’s Share the Arrows conference said yes to that question, committing to bold and courageous witness in their spheres. The rest of the conservative Christian world’s reaction to Allie’s Jubilee appearance suggests that they’re ready to step up to the plate, too.
In her closing speech at Share the Arrows, Allie urged, “We do what God calls us to do, even when it’s painful, even when it’s unpopular, even when it’s scary, even when it requires sacrifice, even when we lose friends and we lose family and we lose jobs.”
That charge, rooted in sacrifice and truth, captures the heart of a movement ready to rise.
