"Alabama's IVF Journey: From Halt to Protection"
TL;DR Summary
After the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos should be considered "extrauterine children" under state law, several fertility clinics in the state suspended I.V.F. treatments, causing setbacks for couples like Leelee and Austin Ray, who had been trying to have a baby for six years. The ruling disrupted expensive, physically and emotionally taxing fertility treatments, and may soon be repeated in other states as anti-abortion forces push to redefine the beginning of life.
