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.

    They didn’t really have any choice, really, if they want to ban abortions.

    The only way to ban abortions is to call it murder by declaring the embryo a human being instead of a clump of cells.

    Now by doing that, how to you say an embryo in the womb is a human being but an embryo outside of the womb is not?

    They trapped themselves trying to accomplish an agenda that has nothing to do with science or logic.
