‘Intrinsically Evil!’ Pro-Trump Host Goes On Stunning Rant Against ‘Immoral’ IVF

Pro-Trump podcast host Michael Knowles’s shocking rant against “intrinsically evil” IVF went viral this week on the heels of the bombshell court decision granting personhood to frozen embryos.

The Alabama Supreme Court unleashed political hell recently with a decision ruling that embryos frozen for IVF treatments are actual children, and destroying them can be considered wrongful death. Many Republicans, including Trump, have rushed to distance themselves from what has turned out to be a shockingly unpopular decision.

But Knowles, an influential Trump supporter and host of the Daily Wire podcast The Michael Knowles Show, has been railing against IVF for a very long time and in favor of the decision over the course of many shows.

This week, one such rant went viral on social media and was flagged by the Biden-Harris campaign. In a December episode, Knowles took it to eleven by calling IVF an “intrinsically evil” action that can’t be justified by a valued result, applying the same “logic” as to pregnancies conceived by rape.

The full clip reveals he was answering a letter from someone who told him about their IVF-conceived nieces — and whom Knowles generously conceded should not be murdered:

Someone wrote to me, said, “Michael, you know, I can’t believe you said this because I can somewhat intellectually understand why IVF and surrogacy might be bad in theory, but I’ve got nieces who were conceived through IVF, and I’m glad that my nieces are alive. So go F yourself, Michael, because I know that anything that would allow my nieces to be alive, I think is totally fine. You big jerk, you Bible thumping, moralizing jerk.”.

Okay. All right, hold on. Calm down, calm down. I hear you, I hear you. I’m sure your nieces are great. I’m sure your niece has a wonderful, I’ll say, and your niece, your nieces have a right to life. And it’s good that your nieces exist.

The problem for IVF and surrogacy is that no ends, no matter how good, justify immoral means. No ends, no matter how good, justify actions that are intrinsically evil to achieve them.

This is the same kind of logic that we would apply to, say, rape. A child who is conceived in rape. I know some. They have a right to life. There. It’s very good that they exist. We like these people.

Had your nieces, God forbid, been been conceived in the case of rape you would you would say that. You would say, I love my nieces. And how dare you suggest they shouldn’t exist and how dare you say?

I’m not suggesting they shouldn’t exist? I’m not suggesting they don’t have a right to life. I’m not suggesting they’re not good at all.

But. Let’s follow this idea to its logical conclusion. Does the fact that your nieces’ existence is good and they have a right to life? Does that fact justify rape? Certainly not.

Likewise. Good ends can be wonderful and we can celebrate them, but they don’t justify immoral means. The reason surrogacy and IVF are immoral is because they, they interfere into the family. They break up the the nucleus, the very building block of political society. They separate the reproductive from the conjugal act. They establish the domination of technology over the origin and destiny of human life.
