How IVF is now splitting Trump’s Republican family

Mary Leah and Rodney Miller had six rounds of IVF that cost over $100,000 ( 80,000 ) They were both pro-life, conservative and devout.

But Alabama supreme court ruled that embryos were considered children, they did not join many of their family and friends in celebrating the decision.

They felt a deep compassion towards people who made choices that were different from theirs.

The decision in Alabama came about because of what appears to be an accident.

In December 2020 , a patient at a hospital in Mobile , Alabama , wandered through the doors of a fertility clinic on the premises and opened the freezing unit where embryos were being stored.

In response, three couples brought lawsuits against the fertility centre under Alabama ’s Wrongful Death of a Minor Act, seeking damages.

A trial court dismissed the charges, on the basis that the embryos were not children.

When it was brought to the Alabama supreme court, however, that decision was reversed.

Marilyn Lands , a Democrat member of the Alabama House of Representatives , flipped a Republican congressional district in the state after campaigning on access to abortion and fertility treatments.

She believes that this message can sway undecided and Republican women.
