False claim about Supreme Court's impact on Alabama IVF case

SOURCE www.breitbart.com
President Joe Biden falsely claimed during his State of the Union address that the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision led to the Alabama Supreme Court ruling on IVF embryos as unborn children. The Alabama Supreme Court's decision was not directly related to the Dobbs decision and did not shut down IVF clinics.

Key Points

  • President Joe Biden falsely linked the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision to the Alabama Supreme Court's ruling on IVF embryos as unborn children.
  • The Alabama Supreme Court's decision was based on existing state laws and did not directly result from the Dobbs decision.
  • IVF clinics in Alabama did not shut down as a result of the court's ruling, but some paused offering services.
  • The Alabama Supreme Court's decision centered on legal principles and the state's Wrongful Death of a Minor Act.
