In fact, the case had essentially nothing to do with abortion. Three families pursuing IVF sued their clinic after another patient apparently wandered into the facility’s freezers without the staff realizing it and picked up a container of embryos. The extreme cold burned that person’s hand, causing them to drop the container onto the floor, which killed all of the embryos it held.
…
The result was perverse but painfully familiar: Policy makers, practitioners, and political activists purporting (and in many cases genuinely intending) to act in the name of vulnerable parents and children instead only advanced the interests of an already-sheltered industry, and left a fraught and sensitive domain of our society even more exposed and unprotected.
If i’m reading it right, the author is supporting the ruling based on . . . agreeing with it?
They’re arguing it has nothing to do with abortion law, and that IVF embryos should be protected, and . . tbh I didn’t make it much farther than that.
Yeah the article is a load of crap from someone trying to justify the insanely bad ruling.
One of the authors is from the American Enterprise Institute, which wikipedia tells me is a “center-right” think tank. And that probably means we’re done here.
