for more i'm joined by mary ziegler, a legal historian and expert on reproduction and health care.nk you as always for being with the newshour. about 2% of all babies born in this country are conceived through assisted reproductive technology. what are the concerns about how this decision will affect reproductive rights and options? mary: think the decision casts a shadow on a lot of options that usually are available through ivf. for example, if people have extra embryos, they can no longer be destroyed, they can no longer be donated for research in alabama. it's not even clear what the legality of storing them would be. then there is a simple fact as we've seen with the university of alabama at birmingham, the threat that if embryos are inadvertently damaged or destroyed, that could lead to lawsuits or even criminal prosecutions which will have a tremendous chilling effect on reproductive care in the state. stephanie i want to read an : excerpt from the chief justice's opinion: the people of alabama have declared the public policy of this state to be that unborn human life is sac

let's bring in a legal expert on abortion here in the united states, marine ziegler mary, in the majority opinion here of the alabama supreme court, associate justice j mitchell writes, quote, the people of alabama i have declared the public policy of the state to be that unborn human life is sacred, we believe that each human being, from the moment of conception is made in the image of god created by him to reflect his likeness. unquote that sounds to me, i'm no legal expert that bid sends less like a legal argument and more like a religious declaration. what's your reaction >> one of the things that's really striking about both the majority in the concurring opinion by the chief justice of the court is that this claim essentially that alabama voters embraced christianity, right? that alabama voters wrote christianity into the text of the alabama constitution. so there's no longer any daylight between church and state. there's no longer any daylight between religious teachings and constitutional law. and so i think it's right to read this opinion is saying we're going to see a lot more o

of fear of liability, a real concern says uc davis law professor and reproductive historian mary zieglerhe state wrongful death law, these embryos are persons. the state supreme court hasn't said anything about criminal charges, but, again, i think it's a fair reading of this ruling that if the justices view embryos in the way this ruling describes, that they would be interested in potentially weighing in on criminal liability down the road. >> reporter: a bill introduced in alabama state senate tuesday would provide immunity to doctors performing the procedure. >> how's it going? >> good. >> reporter: but for now, patients like howston are in limbo. >> i think the cancer diagnosis was hard, because you're put in a lot of places where you're waiting for test results, you're waiting for an answer on this or that. but you always knew when the end was going to come. you knew the next appointment. that's probably the biggest difference as far as the pain you feel with the cancer diagnosis versus this is you don't know when it's going to end. >> reporter: so this is worse? >> uh-huh. >> repor
