In this case, the court considered this issue: Does a Section 1983 claim brought in state court require the plaintiffs to first exhaust state administrative remedies?The case was decided on February 21, 2025.The Supreme Court held that where a state court's application of a state exhaustion requirement in effect immunizes state officials from 42 U-S-C §1983 claims challenging delays in the administrative process, state courts may not deny those claims on failure-to-exhaust grounds. Justice Brett Kavanaugh authored the opinion of the Court on behalf of the 5-4 majority holding that Alabama may not enforce an administrative-exhaustion rule.When a state law or rule functionally immunizes government officials from suits under § 1983, that law is preempted and unenforceable. Section 1983 ensures that individuals can seek a federal remedy for violations of their constitutional rights. Alabama's exhaustion requirement, applied to delays in benefits processing, creates a procedural barrier that prevents claimants from ever challenging those delays under §1983. This precedent follows decisions in Haywood v Drown and Howlett v Rose, which held that states cannot erect procedural obstacles that effectively nullify federally guaranteed rights. The Alabama Supreme Court's ruling in this case violated that principle by conditioning § 1983 suits on completing the very process claimants sought to challenge for unreasonable delay.Characterizing Alabama's rule as “jurisdictional” does not change this result. A state cannot use jurisdictional labels to avoid compliance with federal law, especially when the rule in question operates as an immunity provision. Nor does the potential availability of mandamus relief in Alabama courts justify the exhaustion rule, as requiring claimants to complete state-mandated processes before suing simply reinstates the same barrier. Because Alabama's exhaustion rule functionally immunizes officials from § 1983 suits regarding administrative delays, it is preempted, and the judgment of the Alabama Supreme Court is reversed.Justice Clarence Thomas authored a dissenting opinion, in which Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett joined in part.The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted.

Sexual and reproductive health faced unrelenting attacks this year, and the assault will likely only increase in 2025 under the Trump administration. Susan Rinkunas with the Cut, Jezebel, and Vice, and an independent journalist covering abortion and politics, sits down to look back with us on sexual and reproductive health and rights in 2024 and what we can expect in the coming year. 2024 was marked by the attempted redefinition of abortion bans by incoming President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, extremists using the exact same playbook to attack both abortion and transgender health and rights, the Alabama Supreme Court case that declared frozen embryos as people, and a host of abortion ballot measures around the country. 2025 is likely to bring a Supreme Court justice retirement, loosening abortion clinic buffer zones, a goal to defund Planned Parenthood, and continued attacks to gender-affirming care and birth control. Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Originally broadcast September 26, 2024 At the beginning of this year, few could have predicted that in vitro fertilization would become a big political topic. But that's what occurred after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled frozen embryos are “unborn children.” The Alabama legislature then responded by passing a law to shield IVF providers. Since then, former President Trump said he wants the government or insurance companies to pay for IVF treatment. However, Vice President Kamala Harris has said that “under...

Earlier this year, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that embryos conceived through IVF are considered children. That ruling set off a firestorm across America that led to the Alabama legislature rushing through a bill protecting the technology. Since then, Kamala Harris has erroneously claimed that President Donald Trump would ban IVF, all the while GOP Senators seek to protect the practice.   Do modern reproductive technologies align with God's divine design? Are children commodities to be cut and pasted into any/every adult relationship? Is Donald Trump's position on In Vitro Fertilization pro-life?   And what about IVG: In Vitro Gametogenesis where scientists would take body cells and turn them into sperm or eggs?   God's creation mandate is clear: "Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth."

Fertility benefits company Progyny's (Nasdaq: PGNY) stock is selling off 33% in today's trading session after announced it's losing its largest customer who accounted for 13% of the previous year's revenue. This customer was unnamed, but it's most likely Amazon. Even though Progyny has historically had nearly 100% client retention and receives excellent net promoter scores, this could be a red flag for investors. 7investing CEO Simon Erickson shares his thoughts about the company's previous struggles, the Alabama Supreme Court's recent ruling about IVF embryos, and how investors should think about Progyny's stock going forward.

Since Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, state courts and legislatures have grappled with its legal and policy implications, especially as they pertain to abortion and IVF. In LePage v.

Earlier this year, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled frozen embryos have the same rights as children. The decision sent shockwaves throughout Alabama and raised serious questions about the future of IVF in the United States. While the Alabama legislature has since passed legislation protecting IVF in the state, that doesn't address the big question behind the court's decision: What does personhood mean, and what does it mean for the anti-abortion movement?   Read More: Fetal personhood laws, explained - Vox  Alabama's Supreme Court IVF ruling is a warning to the country - Vox  Opinion | The Anti-Abortion Movement Is Gunning for Fetal Personhood - The New York Times  How America's Two Abortion Realities Are Clashing - The New York Times  Submit your policy questions!

Today we discuss the fallout from the Alabama Supreme Court's ruling on IVF. Why are so many pro-life Republicans coming out in favor of IVF and pushing for fewer restrictions? How does IVF fail to uphold the dignity of human life? And is it even possible for someone to be pro-life and pro-IVF? Plus, we go through a recent article in the Washington Post that points to Christian women in support of IVF. What could this mean for the upcoming election and the suburban woman vote? Plus, Allie's dad, Ron Simmons, joins to discuss today's Super Tuesday primaries and the Supreme Court decision on states that sought to remove Trump from their ballots. --- Timecodes: (03:11) Summary of Alabama IVF ruling (16:08) Republicans supporting IVF (30:17) Washington Post article (40:44) Democratic backlash (43:30) Trump SCOTUS ruling (53:20) Super Tuesday (56:30) Nikki Haley wins D.C.

A few weeks ago, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that embryos created in the IVF process had the same rights as children. The ruling was a warning of just how far the anti-abortion might go. Abdul reflects on the hypocrisy at the core of the ruling. Then he sits down with Elisabeth Smith, Director for State Policy and Advocacy at the Center for Reproductive Rights to discuss the broader implications of the ruling and what it means for people in Alabama and beyond.

It was a wild week at the High Court (another seven days crammed with a year's worth of news). SCOTUS heard cases about bump stocks, and how Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito would do as Facebook content moderators. The Supreme Court also finally found the time to put a thumb on the scale for serially indicted alleged insurrector-in-chief former President Donald J Trump. We'll talk about all those things with Slate's very own Mark Joseph Stern. But what we're really focused on this week is the Alabama Supreme Court's recent decision finding that frozen embryos are children, and the unshakeable sense that the coverage of this so far has had a slightly myopic quality, as though this case is purely about IVF, and carving out IVF, when in fact the entire movement for fetal personhood sweeps in many more people and rights than just those seeking assisted reproductive technology. We're joined by a preeminent expert on matters of law, medicine, reproductive health, and biotechnologies, Dr. Michele Goodwin. Dr. Goodwin is the author of  Policing The Womb: Invisible Women and The Criminalization of Motherhood. She explains (again) why we should have seen this decision coming from miles (and centuries) away.  Want more Amicus?

When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the Republican Party declared victory.But the Alabama Supreme Court's decision last month that frozen embryos are considered “extrauterine children,” which prompted hospitals to suspend I.V.F. procedures, has complicated that victory. Given Americans' overwhelming support for in vitro fertilization, conservative politicians have tried to distance themselves from the ruling.The hosts discuss that political scramble and ask whether the Republicans have made up their minds over what it means to be “pro-life.” The hosts also consider how much public opinion should influence the decisions of lawmakers and judges, and where the debate over reproductive rights is headed.Plus, listeners weigh in on how much the economy is going to affect their vote.(A full transcript of this audio essay will be available within 24 hours of publication on the Times website.)Mentioned in this episode:The Alabama Supreme Court's ruling that frozen embryos should be considered children Thoughts about the show?

An Alabama Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos can be considered "extrauterine children" under state law has major implications for how in vitro fertilization, commonly called IVF, is performed. Since the first successful in vitro fertilization pregnancy and live birth in 1978, nearly half a million babies have been born using IVF in the United States. Reproductive endocrinologist Amanda Adeleye explains the science behind IVF, the barriers to accessing it and her concerns about fertility treatment in the post-Roe landscape.Read more about the science of IVF.Questions or ideas for a future episode of Short Wave?

Dahlia Lithwick is drinking from the firehose of legal news again and this week is joined by election law professor Rick Hasen to figure out why we're all still hanging on for the Supreme Court to make a call in former President Donald J Trump's sweeping claim to immunity from prosecution over the events of January 6th, how Americans could actually achieve a real right to vote, and why no-one's paying attention to a pair of incredibly consequential social media cases being argued at SCOTUS next week.  In our Slate Plus segment, Dahlia and Slate's own Mark Joseph Stern discuss the bonkers but very very real implications of the Alabama Supreme Court decision to bestow personhood on embryos being used in fertility treatment, creating an impossible legal landscape for clinics and those struggling to become pregnant. Next, they sift through Justice Samuel Alito's grievance debris in a recent dissent to find the deeply worrying signposts toward overturning equal marriage rights.

Trump and his allies make it clear that a second term would be much more extreme than the first, from Christian nationalists running the White House to military raids and internment camps. The Alabama Supreme Court's ruling that stopped IVF in the state could be a sign of things to come.

Finally, Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler joins to talk about the new legislative maps that have finally ended one of the worst gerrymanders in the country.

The University of Alabama health system became the first organization in the state to pause IVF treatments following the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that said frozen embryos can legally be considered “children.” Meanwhile, the future of IVF in the ten other states remains unclear as well because, like Alabama, they say life begins at fertilization. To learn more about how this fits into the larger fight for reproductive rights, we spoke with Dana Sussman, deputy executive director of Pregnancy Justice.Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old nonbinary student in Oklahoma, died earlier this month one day after a fight in a school bathroom. The circumstances of Benedict's tragic death are still coming into focus. But one thing's for sure: the efforts of anti-LGBTQ lawmakers in Oklahoma, as well as influential right-wing social media accounts like Libs of TikTok, have helped create an extremely hostile environment for trans youth and LGBTQ people in the state.And in headlines: the White House wiped out another $1.2 billion in student debt, the latest on the sputtering Republican-led Biden impeachment inquiry, and the Boeing executive in charge of 737 Max's is out.Show Notes:Pregnancy Justice – https://www.pregnancyjusticeus.org/The Independent: “Oklahoma banned trans students from bathrooms.

Today we're starting off with the news of last week's Alabama Supreme Court ruling stating that frozen embryos outside the womb are indeed children. We cover what led to this decision and why it makes complete sense when looking at what frozen embryos actually are. We look at some of the backlash from those arguing that this ruling is the "end of IVF" and why we as pro-lifers need to adjust our thinking when it comes to surrogacy and IVF. Then, Fani Willis is the first female district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia, who came to fame when she launched an investigation against former President Donald Trump for attempting to overturn the election result in the state. Now, the case is in jeopardy because it was revealed that she had an affair with the lead prosecutor she hired for the case. We look at her embarrassing testimony as well the multiple churches that seem to be praising her to the point of sacrilege. --- Timecodes: (00:48) Merch & upcoming debate news (03:05) Alabama Supreme Court frozen embryo ruling (38:25) Fani Willis & church sermons --- Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile — go to PatriotMobile.com/ALLIE or call 972-PATRIOT and use promo code 'ALLIE' to get a free smart phone with activation!

Wisconsin's Democratic Governor Tony Evers signed new legislative maps into law on Monday, and broke a Republican gerrymander that has shaped the state's politics for years. That means Democrats are pretty much set to gain seats in the state Assembly and state Senate this November. John Bisognano, president of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, explains what Wisconsin's win means for the state and the nation.Alexei Navalny, the head of Russia's political opposition, died last Friday while serving over 30 years in an Arctic Penal Colony. That means that with less than a month before the country's next presidential election, the party opposing Vladimir Putin's regime has lost its most visible leader. It's not clear how Navalny died, but his widow Yulia accused Putin himself of killing her husband.And in headlines: Donald Trump is selling $400 sneakers while facing a $450 million fine in his New York fraud trial, the U.N's highest court started hearing arguments on the legality of Israel's 57-year occupation of Palestinian territories, and the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are “children.”Show Notes:National Democratic Redistricting Committee: “2023-2024 Priority States” – https://democraticredistricting.com/priority-states/PIX11: “NYPD Dance Team performs” – https://pix11.com/news/morning/nypd-dance-team-performs-on-pix11/What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
