The only way anyone can justify an anti-abortion law is if a human embryo is a human being with full rights.
In IVF fertilization, you get as many as of the mother’s eggs as you can and fertilize a bunch at a time. The reason you do this is because getting the fertilized egg (embryo) into the the mother’s womb has a low success rate.
If you have anti-abortion laws that require the recognition of an embryo as a human with full rights on the one hand, and then you have a medical process that produces a bunch of humans, and then kills most of them, you have a legal problem. Any discarded embryo, for any reason, is murder.
And there you have it. You can have anti-abortion laws that don’t take into account fetal viability, or you can have IVF. You can’t have both. There’s going to be a whole lot of crazy gyrations to support both, because poor people are most affected by anti-abortion laws (and we know poor people don’t matter), but IVF affects rich people, and so the Alabama government is going to do whatever it takes to support the rich oeople.
