Betsy Campbell, the Chief Engagement Officer at RESOLVE The National Infertility Association, discusses the immediate, as well as the long term implications of the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that granted personhood status to embryos created during fertility treatments — a decision which effectively banned IVF treatments in the state. Since the ruling, a number of IVF clinics in Alabama have suspended their treatments, leaving families and their doctors, devastated. In this conversation, Betsy Campbell discusses where we go from here, what states should be on the radar for future IVF bans, and how you can protect fertility care in your state.
