Seems like a great way to shut down fertility clinics across the state as the political risk of getting charged for killing a child is too high.

Way to go Alabama, now all the Christians that were using science to try to usurp God's will that they not have children will have to travel out of state. They might even feel like the intrinsic risk of failure to conceive using alternative means is itself too great to stay in Alabama and will just move thereby further negatively impacting your state's economy. But hey! At least you saved the frozen cells!
