The Alabama court ruling granting rights to “extrauterine children” could not have come at a better time for Republicans searching for ways to distance themselves from the increasingly toxic post-Dobbs political fallout. As abortion access has proven to be a winning issue at the ballot box, many of those who abetted the forced-birth movement’s decadeslong project to overturn Roe are scrambling to assure voters that their desire to limit women’s bodily autonomy wasn’t supposed to go this far.
Because once you grant that a fetus has rights independent of the body carrying it — which many of those saying they want to protect IVF have claimed — you will have to defend those rights wherever the fetus happens to be, or however it came to be. Exhortations by some Republicans to “safeguard” IVF even as they proclaim themselves anti-abortion aren’t calibrations to a hypothetical middle ground. They are, at best, banal confessions of self-interest and lack of self-awareness.
