Caveat: I'm not the SJW-type, and I didn't like very much about Obama, couldn't stand Hillary, voted for trump begrudgingly and am not sure where I stand on how the Donald is doing as president. So, if that qualifies me as "conservative" here are my thoughts:
1. I am pro-choice.
2. An important question for me is, at what point did the "father" consent to being a father? I'm assuming that multiple embryos were stored "for potential future use" rather than "for absolute certain future use." If so, then the decision had not yet been made.
3. Decision on the ex-wife's part to have a child(ren) should NOT impose the necessity on the ex-husband's part to have a child.
4. Likewise, the ex-husband shouldn't necessarily get to determine what the ex-wife does.
5. Unlike natural pregnancy, where the embryo is part of the woman's body (i.e., attached to the woman's body), in this case, the embryo is as much a part of the woman's body as it is the man's body (i.e., 50% each).
The only conclusion I can make of this clusterfcuk is that if the wife decides to use embryos as a viable pregnancy then the man should NOT be required to bear any sort of responsibility (financial or otherwise) for that decision. Since there's a psychological responsibility potentially to bear by the man (independent of financial responsibility) if the embryos are taken to term, the only possible decision is that the woman shall NOT be allowed to proceed with pregnancy of those embryos. Note that this does NOT preclude the woman from repeating the IVF process with her own eggs and the sperm of another man's, thus not encroaching on her rights/liberty/choices.
