Per LifeNews:
After the seminal ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that the state’s wrongful death law includes unborn children and human embryos‚ the state attorney general says he won’t prosecute families using IVF.
As LifeNews has reported‚ the Alabama Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that an embryo created through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is a “minor child” and is no different under the law from an unborn child in the womb. Due to the 2018 Sanctity of Unborn Life Amendment in the state’s constitution‚ which declares it is “public policy” in Alabama to recognize “the sanctity of unborn life and the rights of unborn children‚” the Court held that the law protects “‘the rights of the unborn child’ equally with the rights of born children.”
In LePage v. Mobile Infirmary Clinic‚ Inc.‚ the Supreme Court of Alabama faced the question of whether an unborn child being kept in a cryogenic nursery is entitled to status as a person under Alabama’s Wrongful Death of a Minor Act.
After the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos created through in vitro fertilization are children and entitled to the same legal rights as “unborn children‚” multiple clinics in the state suspended IVF services to consider the legal repercussions of the decision.
UPDATE: Alabama Clinics Pause In Vitro Fertilization Following Supreme Court Ruling
The University of Alabama at Birmingham was the first IVF provider to announce the move.
“We have made the impossibly difficult decision to hold new IVF treatments due to the legal risk to our clinic and our embryologists‚” Alabama Fertility Specialists announced on social media.
Mobile’s Center for Reproductive Medicine‚ the clinic sued in the court case‚ announced it would pause IVF services.
