"In unprecedented decision, Alabama's Supreme Court ruled frozen embryos are children. It could have chilling effects on IVF"

-CNN

John,

The Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that frozen embryos are legally considered people under a new decision released last week. This throws in vitro fertilization into question and further jeopardizes reproductive rights.

This is not hyperbole: This new ruling puts lives in peril.

In his concurrence, the Chief justice went as far as to justify this ruling with his own religious views.

“…human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God, who views the destruction of His image as an affront to Himself.”

- Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice

As a devout Christian, I deeply believe in the sanctity of life. As a lawmaker who has sworn an oath to protect the Constitution, I will vigorously defend the separation of church & state against abuses like this.

This ruling puts lives in peril, jeopardizes IVF treatments that have made so many families whole, and sets us down a dangerous path of extreme right-wing Christian nationalism—something our founders vigorously fought against.

Just as I want the freedom to make my own healthcare decisions in line with my faith, I want every American to be able to make those same decisions in line with their own faith. I will never stop working to protect those freedoms.

I was proud to cast the first pro-choice vote in West Michigan history. My work does not stop here. I am committed to advocating for the equal rights of West Michiganders and continuing to fight for reproductive freedom.

I hope I can count on your support as we gear up for the November elections.
