A strand of Leftist reasoning wants to decrease the use of in vitro fertilization. Not, of course, because it is wrong, but because it is unfair.

In an Atlantic article arguing that “Men Might Be the Key to an American Baby Boom,” the unfairness heads in two directions. For one, men don’t receive the health focus they deserve, especially regarding infertility testing and treatment. Preceding and amplifying that circumstance is the problem with which the author is much more concerned: that women “disproportionately bear the medical and emotional demands of fertility treatment.”
