The Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that frozen embryos can be considered children under state law, a decision critics said could have sweeping implications for fertility treatment in the state.
The decision was issued in a pair of wrongful death cases brought by three couples who had frozen embryos destroyed in an accident at a fertility clinic. Justices, citing anti-abortion language in the Alabama Constitution, ruled that an 1872 state law allowing parents to sue over the death of a minor child “applies to all unborn children, regardless of their location.”
Going this hardcore you gotta do the death penalty next.
If they really valued life they would immediately send the baby and father to the state pen for manslaughter if the mother dies during child birth.
How are you supposed to charge a baby with manslaughter or charge the father when he just contributed sperm? I get your mood, but that’s not a winnable case for the prosecution.
I can see a tort law case like wrongful death happening, (that’s the case happening here) That’s not a criminal case however unless one wants to prosecute criminal negligence in another case
I see no reason we can’t charge the baby as an adult, it was premeditated.
The ga ga goo goo defense.
