Alabama court ruling on IVF 'outrageous and unacceptable': Biden

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Thursday slammed the Alabama Supreme Court's ruling that frozen embryos are children, a decision that has led IVF clinics in the state to halt operations because of their increased exposure to wrongful death lawsuits.

Two clinics have issued statements announcing pauses, with reports of a third following suit.

"The disregard for women's ability to make these decisions for themselves and their families is outrageous and unacceptable," Biden said in a statement.
