Until this week, I was convinced that Donald Trump would win the US Presidential election later this year. But then Alabama made an interesting decision on when human life begins, or specifically that IVF embryo's are to be considered extrauterine children.
There is no doubt in my mind that human life begins at conception. But I do not think that we should consider the rights of the unborn until there is the possibility of the unborn child surviving outside the womb. Loads of women miscarry and this is devastating to many, many of these miscarriages are of pregnancies that would not have had a child that survived after birth, or for very long afterwards. The use of the coil in women is to ensure that a fertilised embryo does not implant in the womb of a woman.
While Donald Trump has called for Alabama to protect IVF, as has Nikki Haley, the simple fact is that this decision was made by Republican judges. This reminder that a Trump victory means the appointment of judges who will back his view for years to come may swing the election in favour of Sleepy Joe. Assuming he lives long enough to feature in the election!
