Alabama hospital puts pause on IVF in wake of ruling saying frozen embryos are children
SUMMARY: A ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court that frozen embryos are the legal equivalent of children has led a large hospital to pause in vitro fertilization treatments as they weigh the impact. Other fertility treatment providers in the state are still providing IVF as lawyers explore the ruling's impact. The ruling has generated concern and confusion among patients and providers, with questions raised about the future of fertility treatments and the freezing of embryos. The ruling partly revolves around anti-abortion language in the Alabama Constitution, and there are worries about the potential unintended consequences of extreme anti-abortion laws in Republican-controlled states.

Investigation continues into 4 electrical blackouts on ship that caused Baltimore bridge collapse

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incidents, with the ship losing power and crashing into the bridge.
