Team,

Disturbing news from Alabama: the Supreme Court has issued a ruling stating that frozen embryos are children.

This ruling is extremely alarming. It undermines peoples’ ability to make decisions about their own family planning via IVF. This is serious, reproductive health care is in crisis, and we must fight back. [[link removed]]

FIGHT BACK NOW [[link removed]]

This ruling runs counter to the very practice of IVF, which in most cases includes fertilizing multiple eggs and determining – between the doctor and patient – which embryo may have the best chance of survival once implanted. Not all embryos are used, nor can they be.

This could have disastrous consequences for the use of IVF. Providers may stop offering IVF altogether or leave Alabama now that they could face criminal penalties.

Here’s what we’re doing, every day, and why we need your support. [[link removed]] Our team is working to advocate for laws and policies to ensure that individuals seeking to start a family have equitable and non-discriminatory access to assisted reproduction. Thanks to our work, 1.4 billion people worldwide since 2021 have stronger legal protections for assisted reproduction.

With politicians at the helm instead of doctors, reproductive health care is in crisis. We’ll keep you updated on this ruling and its implications.

Onward,

Elisabeth Smith
Director of State Policy and Advocacy
