Alabama lawmakers have passed a bill to protect in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) clinics and doctors from lawsuits and criminal prosecution. Last month, the state’s supreme court ruled that frozen embryos had the same rights as children, and people could be held liable for destroying them. At least three IVF clinics paused treatments in the wake of the ruling, which divided Alabama’s conservatives. The new law will allow the clinics to resume services.

    Thank GOD! Killing an Embryo inside the Womb is MURDER but killing an Embryo outside the Womb is A-OK!

      Not that I’m not relieved that they make rape exceptions (when they even do), but from their perspective, a rape exception also makes no sense. Abortion is murder and every life is precious unless it’s conceived in a rape?
