The decision prompted a wave of public backlash as women saw fertility treatments canceled or put in jeopardy after the ruling.
The Alabama Supreme Court on Friday declined to reconsider a controversial ruling that said frozen embryos are considered children under a state law.Justices in a 7-2 decision without comment rejected a request to revisit the ruling that drew international attention and prompted fertility clinics to cease services earlier this year.
However, the Mobile Infirmary Medical Center, which was the focus of the two lawsuits that led to the state Supreme Court's controversial ruling, announced last month that it will stop IVF treatments at the end of 2024 due to litigation concerns. Justice Will Sellers, in a dissenting opinion, said he would have granted the rehearing request so that they could gather more information.
