Republican Josh Hawley’s anti-abortion arguments echoed in Alabama IVF case

Arguments that led to Alabama supreme court ruling that embryos are extrauterine children' similar to Missouri senator's in 2013 case

Anti-abortion arguments made in the recent controversial Alabama supreme court decision, which led to the shut down of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in nearly half of the state's clinics, echo those made by the Republican US senator Josh Hawley.

The Missouri lawmaker made similar arguments in 2013 and when he worked on the legal team arguing the Hobby Lobby" case on contraception before the US supreme court.
