  1. They won’t stop at this. They will impose their draconian religious views on everyone if they aren’t stopped.

    This is a war against religious extremists on the Right.

  2. Would it be possible to freeze eggs, freeze sperm, thaw out one each when the couple is ready, fertilize the egg and do a fresh embryo transfer that way?

  3. So much for “be fruitful and multiply”

  4. ❤pm Imran khan 0:41 0:44 Pakistan 🇵🇰 world 🌎 Pakistanis people love USA 🇺🇸 Pakistanis love ❤️ Imran khan nice 🎉 2024 tku

  5. Hmmm, if Corporations are People, why do Corporations pay much less taxes than People??

  6. ABC never stops with the propaganda and the sheep eat it up. 😂😂

  7. If an embryo is a baby then discarding (killing) an embryo is murder.
    Republicans are trying to have it both ways and say its murder when they want it to be murder and not murder when that’s more convenient

  8. if it makes Life it is Life, no question

  9. Democrats: The world is over populated! We need abortions and birth control! Because kids in foster care and orphans!
    Also Democrats: We need to protect IVF so couples can have children!

    Hmmm

  10. Wow…imagine this much thought and effort goes into embryos but not a lick of thought on how to better control guns.

  11. This pro war network is in favor of a pro war neo-con like Nikki Haley

  12. Back to secure our damn borders this is juvenile to say the least

  13. So they’re doing exactly what the court asked them to do in their decision. Gotcha.

  14. They better do something asap.

  15. Adopt, dont make test tube babies. Thats vanity

  16. Helpful coverage, but I think you (and almost everyone else) are using the wrong terminology. IVF involves BLASTOCYSTs, NOT EMBRYOs and BLASTOCYSTs ARE MUCH YOUNGER AND LESS DEVELOPED. Look it up. Oxford Dictionary defines EMBRYO as “a human offspring during the period from approximately the second to the eighth week after fertilization (after which it is usually termed a fetus).” Instead, IVF involves BLASTOCYSTs which are groups of 200-300 cells that can subsequently differentiate into the placenta and the fetus. Wikipedia says “The use of BLASTOCYSTs in in vitro fertilization (IVF) involves culturing a fertilized egg for five days before transferring it into the uterus.” Since cell growth is exponential there is a big difference between 5 days and 2-8 weeks. If people understood that BLASTOCYSTs are well before what eventually becomes the baby differentiates from the placenta, they might be materially less likely to think of them as "babies". More broadly, how can the public be expected to have the right ideas about IVF if news agencies don’t even use the right words?!

  17. Hey democrats! The borders open use it!😮

  18. I'm staying out of it.. So glad I'm 40… Even tho multiple doctors wont tie my tubes like im gonna change my mind at 50 or something..i feel like now, if i get pregnant, I almost wouldnt feel safe…know what will stem from this? Someday they are gonna have woman locked up while pregnant and force them to give birth to their Rayp babies. Thats where its leading.. i see it.

  19. Alabama lawmakers? 😂😂😂😂

  20. This is so messed up. Abortion is ok but they have made laws to let women have abortions killing their babies 😢😢😢

  21. Hey Christians, if embryos are people and they are destroyed, don’t they get a free ticket to Heaven and eternal bliss? Or does God torture them in fire for eternity because they never accepted Jesus as their Savior?

  22. This is the result of letting religion dictate law

  23. I mean I'm sorry but at this point I don't understand how anyone stays in a state that continues to act this way . At what point can people start applying for asylum. I don't know about the rest of the rats but I'm about ready to get off of this sinking ship …..

  24. Trump is going to be undecided. He was a Democrat now a republican.

  25. Make sure to tell a woman who has a miscarriage that it is stupid of her to mourn the lose of a child. Tell her it was just a clump of cells and not even real and just get over it.

  26. The red Nazis in these redneck religious states are only changing their tune because they realize they are going to lose votes! They don’t believe in God, just power. Next they will lock people up for masturbation! 🙄

  27. “A Black woman was criminally charged after a miscarriage. It shows the perils of pregnancy post-Roe…" 16 Dec 2023 AP News. The GOP MAGA cult have made their religious zeal into their political agenda!

  28. What’s funny is Republicans got what they want on abortion rights and defining what a baby is, but now they keep having to go back and fix the mess piecemeal because they didn’t “mean it like that”. These are the unintended consequences for making societal decisions based on faith rather than science. On a personal level you believe what you believe but that doesn’t belong in our laws.

  29. Is an egg a chicken that would be my question

  30. There is only one way to protect a woman's right to IVF treatment, VOTE DEMOCRAT! The GOP MAGA is only giving their support to IVF to get the vote and will due a 180 once they're elected, they have lied before and will do it again!

  31. ABC desperate to make this Trump's fault!!
