"Texas Abortion Ban Prompts Woman to Move Embryos Out of State"

Amanda Zurawski, who is suing Texas over its near-total abortion ban, plans to move her frozen embryos out of the state due to fears that Texas could follow Alabama's lead in restricting in vitro fertilization. This decision comes after at least three fertility clinics in Alabama paused IVF treatments following a state Supreme Court ruling that granted legal protections to embryos. Zurawski, who nearly died due to complications during pregnancy, is concerned about the impact of such rulings on hopeful parents and the added financial burden of moving embryos. The lawsuit, filed by Zurawski and others, challenges Texas' abortion ban and seeks to allow doctors more discretion in medical complications. The Alabama ruling is seen as alarming by reproductive rights advocates, who warn of a crisis in reproductive healthcare following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
