The statement and the associated conversation and image engage in public discourse by addressing the controversial topic of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and its ethical implications compared to Planned Parenthood's activities. The tone of the statement is critical and provocative, aiming to highlight a perceived inconsistency or issue within the GOP's stance on life and reproductive rights.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement and the posters could be seen as harmful by those who support IVF or Planned Parenthood, as it equates IVF with the destruction of life, which is a sensitive and personal issue for many. [-2]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement and posters do not respect the privacy and dignity of individuals who use IVF or support Planned Parenthood, potentially leading to feelings of shame or guilt. [-2]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, as it takes a confrontational stance rather than fostering a nuanced discussion on the ethical complexities of IVF and reproductive rights. [-2]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement and posters engage in a form of ad hominem attack by targeting a specific group (GOP) and a specific individual (Rep. Rosendale) without engaging in constructive dialogue or offering solutions. [-2]
