CNN —Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Wednesday sided with the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are children and those who destroy them can be held liable for wrongful death. The University of Alabama at Birmingham health system said Wednesday that it is pausing IVF treatment following the ruling. And one religious group is already using the Alabama ruling as precedent in a Florida abortion rights case, signaling the impact this ruling can have on the national abortion landscape following the reversal of Roe v. Wade. While the unprecedented ruling does not prohibit IVF, it’s the first known case in which a US court said frozen embryos are human beings. And then when you look at that, then you make the decision that’s best for your family,” she later said.
