Alabama Supreme Court Rules Frozen Embryos Are Children in LePage

Alabama's Supreme Court held that frozen IVF embryos count as children under the state's 1872 Wrongful Death of a Minor Act, letting couples sue a Mobile clinic whose embryos were destroyed and pushing clinics to pause IVF.

The court reversed the Mobile Circuit Court's dismissal of two wrongful-death suits by couples whose frozen embryos were destroyed at the Center for Reproductive Medicine and Mobile Infirmary^[1]
Justice Jay Mitchell wrote that the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act "applies to all unborn children, regardless" of where they are, including embryos stored outside a uterus^[1]
Chief Justice Tom Parker concurred specially, relying in part on the state constitution's 'sanctity of unborn life' amendment; Justice Greg Cook dissented^[1][2]
The University of Alabama at Birmingham, the state's largest IVF provider, paused treatment after the ruling^[3][4]
The fallout led the legislature to pass an IVF immunity law within three weeks^[3]
