Tell the Supreme Court: Protect IVF for Patients

Alabama’s Supreme Court has ruled that frozen embryos are children under state law and subject to legislation dealing with the wrongful death of a minor. The court states it “applies to all unborn children, regardless of their location.”

Following the ruling, IVF clinics in Alabama providing the treatment have paused this important procedure, which provides a way for people to have children. 

Sign the petition to tell the Supreme Court to protect IVF for patients. 

The court’s decision could have devastating consequences for Alabama families seeking fertility treatments. But soon, this could have impacts across state borders. It could be the start of another reproductive rights war. 

“There is a lot we don’t know about the impact of this (state Supreme Court) decision. What we do know is that it is already leading to fewer babies and fewer grandbabies that are desperately wanted for their parents and grandparents in Alabama. UAB (University of Alabama Birmingham) is the first system to stop. I don’t think it’s going to be the last,” Sean Tipton, chief advocacy and policy director for Reproductive Medicine said. 

In a time where reproductive rights are under attack, we must step up to fight back.
