"Alabama Supreme Court's Ruling on Frozen Embryos Threatens IVF in the State"

The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are considered children and can be protected under the law, potentially impacting in vitro fertilization (IVF) and reproductive rights. The decision, which comes amid a broader push to define personhood at fertilization, could have far-reaching implications for fertility treatments and contraceptives. Critics argue that the ruling may lead to increased legal risks for health-care providers and patients, potentially affecting access to IVF and reproductive care.
