Hesitation about Democrats’ ART bill should continue, especially as Biden and Democrats repeatedly lie about it to score political points.
During the first 10 minutes of his 2024 State of the Union speech, President Joe Biden falsely claimed that the Alabama Supreme Court “shut down IVF treatments across the state,” when in reality it ruled that embryos are people with inherent value, not legal property.
Biden didn’t simply claim that the Cotton State’s court decision to classify embryos as minors under the state’s wrongful death act launched “another assault on freedom” that affected people like his SOTU guest Latorya Beasley, a woman whose embryo transfer was canceled by her Alabama provider. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s guest was also an IVF client.
He also pinned the ultimate blame for the Alabama Supreme Court’s ruling on the “Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.”
Contrary to the Democrat’s sweeping claims, the Alabama Supreme Court’s civil ruling never dictated how Big Fertility in the state should approach assisted reproductive technologies (ART) or embryo creation.
