Woman loses frozen embryos fight

Woman loses frozen embryos fight

The question is, does it matter if the embryos are in a storage facility, or in her womb?

I don’t think so.

If she became pregnant naturally after both parties agreed to have children, then it’s her choice what happens to the embryos.

If they are created and viable, but held in storage, it’s suddenly a decision they both have to agree on.

I’m sorry but people can’t have it both ways. You can’t say that destruction of these viable embryos is right just because one parent doesn’t want them but on the other hand say that abortion is ok if the mother doesn’t want the child. The point of conception has passed.
The father deciding he doesn’t want the children is too late. His option to withdraw ended five years ago when the embryos were created.
