"From Roe v. Wade Reversal to Alabama's Frozen Embryo Ruling: The Intersection of Politics and Reproductive Rights"
The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are children, allowing parents to sue for wrongful death if the embryos are destroyed, a decision influenced by the reversal of Roe v. Wade. This ruling has raised concerns about access to fertility treatments and potential legal implications for embryos used in in vitro fertilization. President Biden criticized the decision, attributing it to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, while bipartisan efforts are underway in Alabama to draft legislation protecting in vitro fertilization treatments. Additionally, Democratic lawmakers have introduced a bill at the federal level aimed at safeguarding access to infertility treatments.
