Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley expressed her belief that frozen embryos created through in-vitro fertilization are "babies," aligning with a recent Alabama Supreme Court decision that could impact the future of the procedure. The ruling raises concerns about the legality of IVF and the potential for wrongful death lawsuits if unused embryos are destroyed. The University of Alabama at Birmingham has paused IVF treatments in response to the ruling, citing concerns about potential criminal prosecution. Haley, a 2024 presidential candidate, has sought a middle ground on reproductive health policy but faces opposition to any moves that could restrict IVF.
