During the first 10 minutes of his 2024 State of the Union speech, President Joe Biden falsely claimed that the Alabama Supreme Court \u201cshut down IVF treatments across the state,\u201d when in reality it ruled that embryos are people with inherent value, not legal property. <\/p>\n

Biden didn\u2019t simply claim that the Cotton State\u2019s court decision to classify embryos as minors under the state\u2019s wrongful death act launched \u201canother assault on freedom\u201d that affected people like his SOTU guest Latorya Beasley, a woman whose embryo transfer was canceled by her Alabama provider. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer\u2019s guest was also an IVF client.<\/a><\/p>\n
