"Alabama Embryo Ruling Sparks Controversy and Political Backlash"

California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the Alabama Supreme Court's decision on embryos, calling it part of a broader "war on women" and slammed former President Donald Trump's reported consideration of backing a 16-week federal abortion ban with exceptions. Newsom warned that other Republicans may push for more extreme options and highlighted the increasing restrictions on abortion at the state and potentially federal level since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.
