After Alabama Court Decision, Panic And Heartbreak In Fertility Clinics

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Kate was scrolling through Facebook when she saw a news story about an Alabama court ruling on embryos. “And if our rights can be taken away in the state of Alabama, it could happen elsewhere.” Rebecca Matthews, a patient of Dr. Mamie McLean's, has gone through several rounds of IVF at Alabama Fertility and has one remaining embryo stored at the clinic. It’s the physical, emotional and mental toll of the shots and the hormones,” said Rebecca Matthews, an IVF patient of McLean’s at Alabama Fertility. The state Supreme Court decision centered on a 2020 lawsuit in which three couples sued another Alabama fertility clinic and hospital for the “wrongful death” of their frozen embryos, using a legal framework for bringing civil charges when a child dies. “I’m really hoping that the Alabama Supreme Court is feeling like they are on an island alone right now.” Congressional Democrats have been warning since Roe fell that the next wave of anti-choice action could take aim at fertility treatments like IVF.
