                          ALL LIFE IS PRECIOUS

  Mrs. STEEL. Mr. Speaker, as someone who started my family with IVF, I 
understand how critical it is to so many families that want to have 
children.
  I believe all life is precious.
  Like many Americans, I am pro-life with exceptions for rape, incest, 
and the health and life of the mother.
  For years, political opponents have misrepresented my view, but 
families in my district know where I stand.
  Nothing is more pro-life than helping families have children, and I 
do not support Federal restrictions on IVF.
  A recent court ruling prompted confusion about whether the Life At 
Conception Act bans IVF.
  I am removing myself from the bill because it could create confusion 
about my support for the blessings of having children through IVF.
