  1. Start sueing Alabama for kidnapping!!!

  2. This ruling effectively killed IVF in Alabama. The liability incurred by clinics will make this already expensive procedure completely cost prohibitive. Complete clownshow, ignorant politicians shouldn't be making medical judgements.

  3. 1:20 So, the clinic has, in effect, according to my understanding of what a child is, (and their rights), #kidnapped your #children and is holding them #hostage – in a confined, sub-zero space with no access to water; food or light, and not allowed to socialise. Kidnapping AND #CrueltyToChildren. 🤨🫤

  4. Seems conveniently odd.

  5. How many dead babies does it take to make a fertility treatment?

  6. Is the border secure or did you just quit reporting on it?

  7. If anyone is undecided about Nikki Haley's leadership skills go and visit the Town she grew up in, Bamberg South Carolina, you'll drop your support for her immediately!

  8. Nobody is entitled to children. Surrogacy and IVF is trafficking in baby buying. Shameful when there are so many children already in foster care who need a loving family.

  9. No, your embryos (er, children) being to the state just like your womb belongs to the state. Let that sink in (thank tRump for that).

  10. Here is a clue for the pro-lifers, if god doesn't want you to make babies then MAYBE he knows something you don't. Like maybe you SHOULDN'T be making babies. YOU aren't supposed to procreate.

  11. The religious right is in the baby selling business and wants to put fertility clinics out of business.

  12. The embryos are stored until the woman wants a baby or donates the rest to barren women who want babies. Multiple embryos are created in the process, not just a single embryo. IVF companies that can leave the state and go to a “Blue“ state, it's the women with limited money who can't leave the “Red” state for IVF treatment. What they are saying is that women who can't have babies naturally shouldn't have babies or only the very rich GOP MAGA women who can afford to go to a “Blue” state to get the treatment!

  13. The Founding Fathers were geniuses for creating separation of church and state. Imagine how this country would be if religion had absolute control over the political. However, does a politician know more about medicine than a doctor/scientist? NO THEY DONT

  14. Wanna outlaw abortion? Get what you deserve.
