On February 22, ADF announced that it has filed its brief in the case on behalf of the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians & Gynecologists, American College of Pediatricians, and Christian Medical & Dental Associations, whose members “are witnessing firsthand the harms inflicted by the FDA’s recklessness and are regularly called upon to treat emergencies caused by abortion-drug complications.”

The court repeatedly used the expression “extrauterine children” to describe frozen embryos. Frozen embryos are currently regarded as property in most jurisdiction. If they are “extrauterine children”, Alabama’s IVF industry may be forced to make radical changes in its practices. The sole dissenting justice said as much in his opinion: “the main opinion’s holding almost certainly ends the creation of frozen embryos through in vitro fertilization (‘IVF’) in Alabama.”
