Two powerful American high-tech companies are offering to pay female workers to have their eggs frozen, so that they can continue to work full-time without forfeiting the chance to have children later in life.
The Facebook and Apple corporations will pay women up to $20,000 to have their eggs frozen, and made available for in vitro fertilization at some future date. A spokesman said that the two Silicon Valley giants would be the “first major employers to offer this coverage for non-medical reasons.”

I boycott both Apple and FaceBook because of their immoral policy of subsidising IVF. I also avoid using Google for the same reason. There are Christian alternatives to these pagan-dominated corporations and we should use them instead of these anti-Catholic, dollar-demented tyrants.

Facebook and Apple are the new faces of "1984". Wow! listen to these companies. Their alternative is to throw women under the bus if they want to have children. These are big time Dems supporters. Talk about a war on women. When will America wakeup? What is later in life mean? Is it 40, 50, 60? If they change their minds at that time, what happens to the frozen eggs? Also the track record on long term frozen eggs is not good or the effects thereafter are not well known.
