“They were attacking my faith. It bothered me to the core,” said Sara, a Southern Baptist who identifies as pro-life. “Because I had never viewed [IVF] as wrong, as anything other than beautiful and bringing another life into the world. … I’ve actually had a lot of friends pray for me and encourage me and help me along in the process.”

Too bad these conservative Christian women will be flatly ignored by the conservative Christian men in charge:

1 Timothy 2

11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.

12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.

13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

At my last job, my manager was a conservative white Karen. She invited my wife and I over for dinner, and I'm guessing he was not prepared for me to be a person of color in a mixed marriage. And the dude has some real conservative opinions that she agreed with half the time, and the other half, clearly looked uncomfortable and refused to confront it.

Where my wife and I go at it all the time with conflicting views and find a middle ground.

And it makes me wonder why more conservative women aren't being more Karen-like against their husband. I mean, I know why, but still.

Commodification of relationships means rich people are always in a buyer's market. If you're not subservient to your boyfriend's every whim, some other more committed social climbers will be.
