Alabama Supreme Court rules that frozen embryos are “unborn children”: When does life begin? What does this decision mean for abortion and the sanctity of life?

In response, a large Alabama hospital paused IVF treatments yesterday as health care providers weigh the impact of the ruling. If embryos were to be legally classified as human beings, the implications would be seismic across our society.
