Embryo issue

 NPR - At least three Alabama three fertility clinics have halted or restricted in vitro fertilization services since the state's Supreme Court ruled last week that frozen embryos should be considered children under Alabama law. Legislators in the state are now pushing forward proposals to clarify the court's ruling. State Sen. Tim Melson tells Troy Public Radio's Kyle Gassiott that he's sympathetic to those spending time, effort and money to have children through IVF and understands how the justices came to their conclusion. Melson has proposed a bill that deems a fertilized egg a "potential life" but does not consider it a human or unborn child until it is "successfully implanted in a woman's uterus." President Biden called the ruling "outrageous and unacceptable" and blamed the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley seemed to side with the Alabama court, telling NBC News, "Embryos, to me, are babies."
