    “The decisions by Alabama Fertility Services and Mobile Infirmary come a day after the University of Alabama at Birmingham health system said in a statement that it was pausing IVF treatments so it could evaluate whether its patients or doctors could face criminal charges or punitive damages.”

    So it is stopping IVF in this state and will have untold repercussions based on the ruling “Unborn children are ‘children’” which has potentially complicated and unpredictable outcomes. You are entitled to your opinion of course but I think you are quite wrong about this being overblown. It is huge for many.

    "More than 9 million babies have been born using assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization. "

    “A cycle of in vitro fertilization can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000”

    For people currently using IVF, this is probably a very stressful time.
