"Alabama Supreme Court's Ruling on Frozen Embryos Sparks Controversy and Concern"

The Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that frozen embryos created through in vitro fertilization are considered "children" under the state's law, allowing three couples whose embryos were destroyed in a clinic to sue for wrongful death. This decision has raised concerns among reproductive rights activists about the potential impact on reproductive health care, as it could lead to increased costs and even the shutdown of fertility clinics in the state. The ruling reflects a broader trend of anti-abortion and anti-trans laws threatening access to reproductive care, and it highlights the intersection of extremist Christianity and privatized health care in limiting reproductive justice.
