The Alabama Supreme Court ruled Friday that frozen embryos have the same legal rights as "unborn children." The ruling could impact the future of in-vitro fertilization in the state‚ according to the Alabama Political Reporter.Mobile County Circuit Court Judge Jill Parrish Phillips previously dismissed lawsuits filed by three couples who claimed that their frozen embryos were destroyed while being stored at the Mobile Infirmary Medical Center by the Center for Reproductive Medicine‚ a fertility clinic. According to Phillips‚ the couples' embryos were not covered by the state's Wrongful Death of a Minor Act."The cryopreserved‚ in vitro embryos involved in this case do not fit within the definition of a 'person‚'" the court ruled. The incident occurred when a wandering Mobile hospital patient entered the area where the embryos were stored. According to the lawsuit‚ the rogue patient removed the embryos from the freezer and dropped them.The hospital "allowed one of its patients to leave and/or elope from his or her room in the Infirmary's hospital area and access the cryogenic storage area‚" one of the lawsuits stated."[I]t is believed that the cryopreservation's subzero temperatures burned the eloping patient's hands‚ causing him or her to drop the cryopreserved embryonic human beings on the floor‚ where they began to slowly die‚" the complaint continued.According to the filings‚ by the time hospital staff became aware of the incident‚ all of the embryos had already died.The lawsuits‚ filed in 2021‚ accused the hospital of wrongful death‚ negligence‚ and breach of contract.The Alabama Supreme Court recently reversed the lower circuit court's decision to dismiss the couples' case.Supreme Court Justice Jay Mitchell explained that the state's Wrongful Death of a Minor Act "applies to all unborn children‚ regardless of their location.""[T]he Wrongful Death of a Minor Act is sweeping and unqualified. It applies to all children‚ born and unborn‚ without limitation. It is not the role of this Court to craft a new limitation based on our own view of what is or is not wise public policy. That is especially true where‚ as here‚ the People of this State have adopted a Constitutional amendment directly aimed at stopping courts from excluding 'unborn life' from legal protection‚" Mitchell added.In a concurring judgment‚ Supreme Court Chief Justice Tom Parker referenced scripture. "When the People of Alabama adopted [the 'sanctity of life' provision of the state constitution]‚ they did not use the term 'inviolability‚' with its secular connotations‚ but rather they chose the term 'sanctity‚' with all of its connotations‚" Parker stated. "This kind of acceptance is not foreign to our Constitution‚ which in its preamble 'invok[es] the favor and guidance of Almighty God‚'… and which declares that 'all men … are endowed [with life] by their Creator.' The Alabama Constitution's recognition that human life is an endowment from God emphasizes a foundational principle of English common law‚ which has been expressly incorporated as part of the law of Alabama."Parker cited Christian text to define the "sanctity of life‚" arguing that life begins at conception. He noted that "all human beings bear God's image from the moment of conception."Justice Greg Cook‚ who held the only dissenting opinion‚ warned that the ruling could impact the IVF process in the state."No court — anywhere in the country — has reached the conclusion the main opinion reaches. And‚ the main opinion's holding almost certainly ends the creation of frozen embryos through in vitro fertilization ('IVF') in Alabama‚" Cook wrote.Like Blaze News?

Benjamin Crump‚ an attorney who has at one time or another represented the families of George Floyd‚ Jacob Blake‚ Breonna Taylor‚ Tamir Rice‚ Malcolm X‚ and Ahmaud Arbery‚ has come up with a radical solution to the problem of crime in America: rather than fight crime‚ the powers that be ought to simply redefine it. Crump made the case for redefining crime to accommodate "black culture" in a new race-centered program that debuted on MSNBC earlier this month entitled "Black Men in America: Road to 2024." According to the network‚ the program highlights "the intersection of society‚ race and culture to provide a candid and intimate look at America through the eyes of an overlooked voting block [sic] — Black men." In one scene‚ Crump tells MSNBC contributors Charles Coleman Jr.‚ Trymaine Lee‚ and Al Sharpton during a distracted game of pool‚ "We can get rid of all the crime in America overnight‚ just like that. And people ask‚ 'How‚ attorney Crump?' Change the definition of crime." "Of course‚" responded Charles Coleman. "If you get to define what conduct is going to be made criminal‚ you can predict who the criminal's gonna be‚" added Crump. The Daily Caller noted the stunning proposal came about after the pool-table panelists broached the subject of the criminal justice system under President Joe Biden. Coleman‚ a former prosecutor‚ bemoaned the "circular argument" concerning authorities going "where the crime is." "I tell people all the time‚ if you looking for something‚ you gonna find it‚" said Coleman. "So it becomes self-fulfilling in terms of‚ 'Well‚ we go where the crime is.' No‚ you're going and you're finding crime. And if you went somewhere else‚ guess what? You find it there too." After Trymaine Lee aborted his attempt to make the case that black men are treated as criminals simply on account of their skin color‚ Crump suggested that American laws were created to specifically target black citizens. "They made the laws to criminalize our culture‚ black culture‚" said Crump. "So when I think of Eric Garner‚ I would think of stuff like that." "They come up with things to profile us for‚" continued the attorney‚ citing baggy pants and garbage-littered front lawns as supposed examples of racially-specific causes for interventions by the law. Crump suggested further that profiling was involved in the case of George Floyd when he allegedly attempted to buy cigarettes with counterfeit money — an act that would have been unlawful for men of all races. — (@) Like Blaze News?

The White House is "extremely upset" over the New York Times' coverage of President Joe Biden. But Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger is refusing to kowtow.Speaking in an interview with the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism‚ Sulzberger promised his newspaper will cover Biden and Donald Trump fairly‚ meaning the paper will accurately report on the good and the bad of both candidates."We are not anyone's opposition and we're not anyone's lap dog‚" he said. "We are going to continue to report fully and fairly‚ not just on Donald Trump but also on President Joe Biden."Sulzberger then dropped the cold‚ hard truth about Biden and why the White House is upset at his newspaper."[Biden] is a historically unpopular incumbent and the oldest man to ever hold this office‚" he admitted. "We've reported on both of those realities extensively‚ and the White House has been extremely upset about it."Not only is the Times reporting on Biden's age and the concerns about his cognitive decline‚ but in the wake of special counsel Robert Hur's description of Biden as "an elderly man with a poor memory‚" the Times is publishing more opinion essays about Biden's age. — (@) In addition to the White House's anger‚ members of the Biden campaign have reportedly also voiced their frustrations. Recently‚ the campaign invited reporters and editors from the newspaper to campaign headquarters. The mission? To correct what the campaign believes the newspaper is "getting wrong."In fact‚ the campaign has met with journalists from most major news outlets about their coverage of Biden. Those meetings have been "substantive" and "productive‚" according to Semafor‚ with one exception: the New York Times.And while even Margaret Sullivan‚ former public editor of the Times‚ is criticizing her former employer for covering Biden's faults‚ Sulzberger recognized why even-handed coverage is important and why the Times cannot ignore Biden's problems."We are not saying that [Biden's age and unpopularity are] the same as Trump’s five court cases or that they are even. They are different. But they are both true‚ and the public needs to know both those things‚" he said. "And if you are hyping up one side or downplaying the other‚ no side has a reason to trust you in the long run‚" he acknowledged.Like Blaze News?

The future of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is being determined after she was accused of misconduct during the Georgia election interference case against former president Donald Trump‚ and it does not look bright. Willis apparently has hoards of cash at her house‚ which she had been using to reimburse the man she was having an affair with — special prosecutor Nathan Wade. “I always have cash at the house‚” Willis told the court. “If you’re a woman‚ and you go on a date with a man‚ you better have $200 in your pocket so if that man acts up‚ you can go where you want to go. So I keep cash in my house.” When questioned as to where all the cash was coming from‚ she didn’t have an answer. “It came from my sweat and tears‚” Willis told the prosecutor. Sara Gonzales is shocked. “How is Fulton County not so embarrassed right now?” Gonzales laughs. Willis then went on to further the embarrassment by insinuating that Nathan Wade had erectile dysfunction or something of the sort‚ telling the court that they had “very limited contact” in 2020. “Mr. Wade had a form of cancer that makes your allegation somewhat ridiculous‚” Willis said. “I’m not going to emasculate a black man.” “I’m pretty sure you just emasculated a black man‚ ‘cause you said all that needed to be said‚” Gonzales comments.
