05/04/2025: The Rule of Law and Freezing the Biological Clock


Listen Later

On the campaign trail, President Trump vowed to wield the power of the presidency to go after his perceived enemies. Now in the White House, Trump is using Executive Orders to target some of the biggest law firms in the country that he accuses of “weaponizing” the justice system against him. Correspondent Scott Pelley reports on the law firms picked out by the President and the different ways they’re responding to White House pressure.

Fertility rates in the United States are currently near historic lows, largely because fewer women are having children in their 20s. As women delay starting families, many are opting for egg freezing, the process of retrieving and freezing unfertilized eggs, to preserve their fertility for the future. Does egg freezing provide women with a way to pause their biological clock? Correspondent Lesley Stahl interviews women who have decided to freeze their eggs and explores what the process entails physically, emotionally, and financially.  She also speaks with fertility specialists and an ethicist about success rates, equity issues, and the increasing market potential of egg freezing. This is a double-length segment.
