[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Candidate Nicki Haley said today she agrees with the Court's decision.  https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/nikki-haley-sides-with-alabama-supreme-court-on-ivf-ruling-embryos-to-me-are-babies/ar-BB1iFt7D

She had children via fertility treatments.  “Embryos, to me, are babies,” Haley told NBC News in an interview, adding that[b] she used artificial insemination to have her son,[/b] a different process than IVF that doesn’t present the same complexities around creating embryos in a lab. “When you talk about an embryo, you are talking about, to me, that’s a life. And so I do see where that’s coming from when they talk about that.”

[b]Did she just out her husband as being sterile? [/b]

Not necessarily.  IUI (intrauterine insemination) is often the first line of treatment for many causes of infertility, not just male factor.  I have PCOS which resulted in infertility.  All of my DH's tests came back perfectly normal during our initial workup.  We were strongly encouraged to do IUI combined with clomid, then letrozole (2 medications that stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs) before proceeding to IVF.  We did 6 rounds of IUI that all failed, then we moved to IVF.
It could be that they dealt with male factor infertility, but it could also be that the cause of the infertility was on her side.  Also, he's military.  I know of a woman who underwent IUI with her husband's sperm while he was deployed, because his frequent deployments were making it hard to get pregnant.
