After Alabama rules that frozen embryos are children, some fertility patients pray that lawmakers find a solution.

When Alabama’s Supreme Court defined frozen embryos as children, the shock and confusion was immediate. Major hospitals pulled fertility services and would-be parents scrambled for clarity on what would happen next.

The debate over reproductive rights in America has long been driven, in part, by opposition to abortion from Christian groups - but this ruling has divided that movement and ignited debate about the role of theology in US lawmaking.

    As a progressive in Texas…fuckin YEAH. Some of us are trying to bring reality back and it’s really annoying to get lumped in with the crazies.

      I’m a progressive in Arkansas. I understand that 2/3 of our state vote for terrible people who only want to hurt others. That’s a huge portion. But 1/3 of us are still clinging to sanity.
