The 'View' cohosts made it clear they were on opposite sides while debating a recent Alabama Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are legally 'children.'

The View co-hosts Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin clashed over the recent Alabama Supreme Court ruling that labeled frozen embryos as legally equivalent to "children," with Haines clapping back after Hostin claimed an embryo is a "baby."

"The Alabama Supreme Court's ruling, which allows couples to sue for "wrongful death" in cases of destroyed frozen embryos, has raised significant questions about the legal and ethical implications surrounding reproductive health—and Haines and Hostin made it clear they were on opposite sides of the debate.

Haines expressed her focus on "facts" and "science" during the onscreen debate. She highlighted the dangerous implications of the ruling, particularly regarding potential restrictions on infertility treatments.

Haines pointed out that the show's hosts had previously “talked about how egregious a six-week ban was" and noted that “a fertilized embryo is three to five days old," adding:

"It is not alive outside of a uterus. It has no organs, it is not a life yet, it is not viable till it’s 24 weeks."

Hostin, on the other hand, argued from a personal and moral standpoint, stating that 50% of Americans believe a human embryo is a baby, including herself. She invoked her own experience with in vitro fertilization and stressed the emotional connection many individuals have to the belief that an embryo constitutes human life.

Haines responded:

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean facts change. An embryo is an embryo until 10 weeks when it becomes a fetus. A fetus is not viable until it's 24 weeks."
"If we're going to use science, let's use scientific terms, that's what that is."

Their exchange quickly went viral on X, formerly Twitter.

Many praised Haines' response while pointing out the flaws in Hostin's logic.




Following the Alabama Supreme Court's decision, the University of Alabama at Birmingham health system took a significant step by pausing its Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility services. Concerns about potential criminal prosecution and punitive damages have led to the suspension of IVF treatments in various Alabama fertility clinics.

Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Tom Parker has contended that America was explicitly established as a Christian nation and lamented the perceived loss of government control by conservative Christians.

Parker said, “God created government, and the fact that we have let it go into the possession of others, it’s heartbreaking." His remarks came after he issued a concurring opinion in the case where he and fellow justices ruled that frozen embryos possess the same rights as living children under Alabama's Wrongful Death of a Minor Act.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
