Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley supports an Alabama Supreme Court ruling considering frozen embryos as children.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has backed an Alabama Supreme Court ruling stating that frozen embryos created through in-vitro fertilization are considered children. Haley, who used artificial insemination to have her son, said, "Embryos, to me, are babies." This stance comes ahead of the fourth GOP primary contest in South Carolina, where religious conservatives make up a significant portion of the electorate.
