Republicans blast Alabama IVF ruling as decision causes political upheaval for party

House Republicans and GOP candidates are pushing back against the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that determined frozen embryos are children, causing in vitro fertilization procedures throughout the state to be halted.

Alabama’s high court essentially placed a target on the backs of Republicans who are heading into a critical general election this November, as the embryo decision risks alienating swing voters and highlights another manner in which the striking down of Roe v. Wade is affecting more people than those who are anti-abortion.
