Why ‘Fetal Personhood' Is Roiling the Right

An Alabama Decision Puts Principle on Collision Course with Political Reality #

An Alabama decision regarding in-vitro fertilization (IVF) has brought together an uncompromising principle and political reality. The decision has sparked a clash between those who prioritize religious beliefs and those who advocate for reproductive rights. The ruling imposes significant restrictions on IVF practices, including requiring married couples to use their own gametes and prohibiting the use of donated eggs or sperm. Critics argue that the decision infringes upon individual autonomy, while proponents view it as protecting the sanctity of life. This clash highlights the ongoing debate surrounding reproductive rights and religious freedom in the United States.
