New York CNN —Since February, when Alabama’s Supreme Court declared frozen embryos are legally considered children, fertility clinics around the country have been weighing the implications of a political movement that’s suddenly turned hostile toward IVF.
It could also threaten growth in the booming IVF market, which last year brought in an estimated $8 billion in revenue.
IVF also took center stage last week at the Southern Baptist Convention, where church leaders effectively condemned the practice.
I have never seen any religious or government guardrail ever stop fertility patients.
I’m a former fertility patient, and no one was going to tell me no — I was going to do whatever it took to have the family I always dreamed about.
