I am horrified and deeply disappointed with the Alabama Supreme Court ruling on embryos and in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The court ruling — that frozen embryos are people — is the latest conservative attack from the bench on women’s right to make their own reproductive health decisions.
For women living in Alabama, it is a judicial decision that threatens their freedom in a state that already has some of the strictest abortion laws in the nation.
Following the overturn of Roe. v. Wade, right-wing politicians and judges are dangerously dictating what a woman can and cannot do with her own body.
While the Alabama court ruling is the first to assign human rights to an embryo, we know it won’t be the last if anti-choice Republicans get their way.
Women’s rights groups nationwide expect radical groups promoting their so-called ‘personhood movement’ to move quickly for similar judicial decisions in other GOP-controlled states.
Their goal? Getting lawmakers and judges to grant legal rights beginning at conception.
