I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

My nephew and his wife have been trying unsuccessfully to have a child and now they are going through in vitro fertilization. I asked if they were vaccinated (yes and all boosters) and warned them of the danger of the vaccine. She said, yes she heard that and asked her doctor who said not to worry, it's not true. I feel I have some responsibility to prevent a bad outcome. Does anyone have advice? I cannot prevent them from making choices that I wouldn't make, and if I push too hard I risk alienating them.
