Women describe heartbreak after IVF treatments stop in Alabama after the state Supreme Court issued a decision that frozen embryos are "children."

The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are “children.”

Since last year, Jasmine York, 34, and her husband have been trying to have a baby. The couple, both nurses, began freezing embryos before they got married in March 2023.

York had her first embryo transfer in August 2023, but the transfer failed, she told ABC News.

Determined to grow their family, the couple tried again, and they are currently undergoing their second round of in-vitro fertilization, or IVF.

But, after the Alabama Supreme Court issued a new decision last week ruling that frozen embryos are considered children, they say their embryo transfer appointment scheduled for March 20 was canceled by her hospital.

    Now it’s in their faces and they can’t run away from it.

    They can kill pregnant women and chalk it up to Gods’ will. Now they are denying people babies to save babies.

    I want to see how crazy the debate gets

      Denying opportunities for wanted children for non-babies. To control the wombs of millions.

        Saw another article just now. Governor of California points out that they are fine with a rapist having parental rights but are upset with actual parents wanting to control their situation.
