John Oliver’s “Last Week Tonight” is the latest late night show to satirize the Alabama Supreme Court’s recent ruling that frozen embryos are people.

Following “The Daily Show” and “Saturday Night Live,” the HBO show, which airs Sunday nights at 10 p.m. central, quickly turned around a segment after the Feb. 16 ruling.

“They ruled frozen embryos are the same as people, which is wrong for a bunch of reasons,” Oliver said. “Mainly, if you freeze an embryo, it’s fine. If you freeze a person, you have some explaining to do.”

The Emmy-winner cited a CNN report that said nearly 2 percent of babies born in the U.S. are born as a result of IVF.

“This is a seismic decision, and the reason the court was hearing this case to begin with was pretty wild,” Oliver said.

The host was referencing the wrongful death lawsuits three couples filed against a Mobile fertility clinic and Mobile Infirmary Medical Center after they claimed a hospital patient allegedly broke into Mobile Infirmary’s freezer and dropped frozen embryos.

“The court ruled that the clinic could be suit for wrongful death,” Oliver said. “And while that accident is genuinely horrible, someone wandering into a lab and dropping frozen embryos just isn’t murder. If anything, it sounds like a script for a pretty tasteless Mr. Bean sequel, but that is it.” This included a graphic of a fake Mr. Bean film called “Diagnosis Eggative.”

Oliver said the reason clinics are pausing treatment is because nobody knows what it could mean for an embryo to be legally equivalent to a person going forward. He then posited several hypothetical scenarios asking what happens if an embryo is stored improperly, what if they’re destroyed in the implantation process, what about genetic testing which carries the slight risk of damaging embryos. “It is chaos,” he said.

“None of this should be that surprising,” Oliver continued. “This ruling is a natural outgrowth of the concept of fetal personhood, Long-pushed by anti-abortion groups, which Republicans have spent decades courting. And some politicians suddenly seem alarmed to have to deal with the consequences of a movement that they have actively empowered.”

Oliver then showed the viral clip of Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville commenting on the ruling, which the host described as the senator seeming to “realize the problems with his position in real time.” Tuberville, speaking after his appearance at CPAC, said he was “all for” the decision but added “we need more kids,” which the ruling undermines as several fertility clinics in Alabama announced they would pause in vitro fertilization treatments.

“Well guess what, Tommy. I’ve got great news,” Oliver said. “Since your political philosophy seems to begin and end with ‘We need more kids,’ you’ll be thrilled to know that, thanks to a judge in Alabama, there’s now whole freezers full of them. Go play with all those frosty kids, senator. Or maybe that’s not what you had in mind when you think of children, which is exactly the f–king point here.”

Attorney General Steve Marshall’s statement on Friday that his office has “no intention” of prosecuting IVF clinics or families who use the procedure. While the state says it has no plans to prosecute IVF providers or families, those entities could still be held liable for wrongful death in civil suits as a result of the Alabama Supreme Court decision.

Alabama’s Republican lawmakers are considering legislation to protect in vitro fertilization and their vision of the right to life following the ruling. Democratic lawmakers in the state filed a bill last Thursday classifying fertilized eggs or human embryos outside of a uterus as “not considered an unborn child or human being for any purpose under state law.” The bill, HB 225, would protect in vitro fertilization. State Sen. Tim Melson, (R-Florence), also said last week that he plans to file a bill to address the issue.

After the surprise ruling, three fertility clinics in the state paused services, placing embryos and hopeful parents in limbo. Clinics and patients are planning public demonstrations this week.
