The Alabama Supreme Court’s recent ruling considers frozen embryos as “children” under state law, allowing for liability in their destruction.

This decision reflects a push towards enshrining the belief that life begins at fertilization, impacting reproductive health rights.

There are concerns about a potential return of Trump to the White House leading to more Christian nationalist policies, including anti-abortion measures.

Allies of Trump are reportedly planning to revive the Comstock Act to criminalize the transport of abortion pills, with implications for contraceptives as well.

“I hope [Trump] doesn’t know about the existence of Comstock, because I just don’t want him to shoot off his mouth,” lawyer Jonathan Mitchell said.

“I think the pro-life groups should keep their mouths shut as much as possible until the election.”

These efforts are part of a broader strategy known as Project 2025, aiming to advance Christian nationalist ideals in government policies.
