“This is horrible” - Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend Morgan Riddle bemoans US hospitals banning IVF in light of controversial Alabama court decision

Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle recently lamented some US hospitals ceasing to provide IVF treatment.

Recently, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos would be considered as children. The law also states that any person destroying the embryos could be held liable. This led three Alabama clinics to stop providing IVF(in-vitro fertilization) services over fear of criminal prosecution.

Riddle took to social media to condemn the decision. The influencer was remorseful, saying that many women will wake up to the worst news of their lives. She also sounded a warning, implying birth control could become the next casualty of the court judgments.

"This is horrible. I can’t imagine how many women woke up to the worst news of their life this morning. Birth control is next," Riddle wrote in her Instagram story.

The 26-year-old also reminded people to vote, as the USA goes to the polls in November this year.

"Don’t forget to vote this year besties," Riddle wrote.
