The Catholic Church has always opposed IVF.

There are differences among Protestant churches with liberal ones (eg Episcopalians) being ok with it and some conservative being opposed, with a lot in the middle that don’t take a position. This article seems to suggest that some churches have become more opposed in recent years: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2 ... n-beliefs/

However the last decent survey I can find is from 2013 and a lot has happened since then. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/20 ... h-and-ivf/
It's worth mentioning that mainstream Judaism looks at much the same text (I don't think the new testament has much to say on this and other "laws" compared to the old, and also explicitly says that "laws" are defunct), and decides that life begins at first breath (as implied by Genesis 2).

So all of this is a choice, and not logical to start with. It also means that the position taken by extremists in the US of banning abortion, IVF etc. based on their religion is violating the spirit, if not the letter, of the first amendment.

I’ve decided I should be on the pardon list if that’s still in the works
