- Recent cases involvingthe fight over the fate

of frozen fertilized embryos

show another exampleof our divided nation.

For instance, an Arizonacourt ruled an ex-wife

could give birth to her frozen embryos

despite her ex's objections.

While a Colorado court decided in favor

of an ex-husband, stating"embryos could be treated

"like property and thrown away."

The US Supreme Court has been asked

to take the Colorado caseand rule the frozen embryos

are persons with a right to life.

You may not think itmatters whether embryos

are considered people, butif the law here in America

decides that they are, or evenif it decides they aren't,

it has major implications.

Constitutional lawattorney Jenna Ellis warns

about a ruling thatembryos are mere property.

- I think we're gettinginto very dangerous ethical

and legal questions if thecourt decides to go that way.

- We are commodifying human life.

We are commodifying whatit means to be human.

I think that has devastating consequences.

- [Paul] David Christensen ofthe Family Research Council

points to the court's 1973decision allowing abortion.

- Roe V Wade and Doe VBolton legalized abortion

and now we have 60 million unborn children

that have been killed.

There's no question aboutthe impact on families

and family dynamics andthe way we view each other

and the way we view unborn children.

- [Paul] Ellis says rulingembryos are property

could potentially expandto other stages of life.

- At what point does that arbitrary line

go from fertilized embryos atmerely the conception stage,

then all the way say, tosomeone who's in a coma

at the end of their life,are they then morphed

into property because they don't have

any decision making autonomy?

- Rather than looking athuman embryos as property,

we should look at them as they are,

a member of the species homo sapien

and they should be protected.

- [Paul] Pro-choice advocatesworry declaring embryos

persons with rights couldend up stripping adults

of their right not to be a parent.

Ellis believes the issueis more fundamental,

it's about life itself.

- This is a really great opportunity

for the Supreme Court torecognize that human life

is human life no matterhow tiny and small.

- [Paul] Could that then shake

the so-called right to abortion?

- We're seeing with advanced technology

that human beings are humanbeings even in the womb

no matter how small, andI think that Roe's days

are numbered, and we'regonna see a pro-life win

at the Supreme Court very, very soon.
