What the Alabama IVF Ruling Was Actually About

There’s no pro-life crusade against in vitro fertilization.

IVF has always had its pro-life critics. Their concerns are legitimate and consistent with respect for human life from conception, but the pro-life movement has nevertheless always been divided over IVF, and even many of those most skeptical of IVF do not think this is the proper moment to open a new legal or political front against it. A recent court case in Alabama doesn’t change that.
