It’s funny, I have family who are violently pro-life but then did IVF. I’m surprised by the inconsistency. At the other hand I’m not, since pro-lifers still want the individual freedom to do what they want.

Humans are selfish hypocrites. Maybe your family members don't have any inconsistency because they're drawing a line in the sand at "heartbeat" or whatever, or maybe they're just hypocrites like everyone else. But it's important to recognize we are all hypocrites, and that someone doing one thing while saying another doesn't actually reveal some hidden dishonesty or deception. John Kerry really can care about climate change while having a massive carbon footprint and your family really can care about saving babies while doing IVF. The human mind will rationalize all sorts of exceptions and justifications for even the most strongly held beliefs.
