Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has voiced a similar stance to former President Donald Trump in the wake of a ruling on embryos from the Alabama Supreme Court.
Alabama’s Supreme Court ruled on Feb. 16, in response to a lawsuit where plaintiffs claimed damages for embryos destroyed at a cryogenic facility, that human embryos kept outside the uterus are children according to state regulations. The ruling means embryos are covered under wrongful death laws, and clinics that discard embryos could be held liable for wrongful death.
