The Alabama Supreme Court’s ruling that frozen embryos can be considered children under state law is “a kryptonite problem for Republicans,” Tara Setmeyer, a senior adviser at the Lincoln Project, said Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In.” He said that.
“Listen, this is another example of a kryptonite problem for Republicans,” Setmayer said. We know that the vast majority of people, including Republican voters, are pro-IVF. There are 8 million babies born through IVF in this country. So this Alabama Supreme Court decision. According to , every baby and every family who has the gift of life thanks to this technology should never have been born. And there are more than 6 million women in this country , people who were looking forward to having a child who suffer from infertility should not be given that opportunity.”
He added, “Republicans don’t want this debate. If I were a Democrat, I would present every family in my district, state, and even national election that has had successful IVF and tell Republicans that these children… They will demand that people say they shouldn’t do IVF. They’ve had a chance in life. So extremism right now is trying to convince some people, especially women across this country, that they’re attacking them. I think it’s really starting to trickle down to people who feel like they’re being held back, and they are. Women’s rights in this country are under attack every day, and the Republicans are in charge. There is.”
