Michael Moore mockingly pretends live 'embryos' are disrupting his MSNBC hit in abortion segment
Documentary filmmaker and activist Michael Moore pretended "embryos" were running behind him during a live interview on MSNBC on Thursday, in an act to mock a court ruling that deemed frozen embryos unborn children.
As Moore was being introduced to the program, he looked behind him and shouted "Hey, keep it down out there!"
He quickly explained to host Ari Melber that "a bunch of little embryos [were] running up and down the hallway, you know, twenty-four hours after they're declared legally children."
Moore was referring to a recent controversial Alabama Supreme Court ruling on IVF treatments which found that frozen embryos can be considered children under state law. The decision was handed down as a result of wrongful death cases filed by couples whose frozen embryos were accidentally destroyed by fertility clinics.

That wasn’t good enough. Now, embryos, as of yesterday, at least in the state of Alabama, are now ‘children,’" Moore continued.
He claimed pro-life activists would eventually demand that sperm or eggs be considered "human life."
"So what’s next, Ari? What’s before embryo? That’s a fertilized egg. It's the sperm and the egg. That’s their next step. ‘The egg is human life! The sperm is human life!’" he argued.
