Biden, the change in Alabama on embryos is scandalous. "An Alabama court has put at risk access to some fertility treatments for families who are desperately trying to get pregnant," he says.

"The disregard for women's ability to make these decisions for themselves and their families is outrageous and unacceptable," he states. "Scandalous and unacceptable": this is how Joe Biden defined in a note the ruling of the Alabama supreme court which, by equating the fetus to a human being, endangered in vitro fertilization.
