If the Supreme Court overturns Roe, what does that mean for IVF and embryos?

[Anonymous]

What happens to the thousands of embryos in storage? I'm guessing this will be a state-by-state issue?

If you have embryos you will not be using, is this going to speed up your timeline to destroy/donate/compassionate transfer/etc?

Decision likely to come out next May, so I'm debating what to do in the next few months and need to look up the law of the state where mine are.

It's a state by state issue. In a state where life begins at conception, it could get very interesting.

Does anyone have a link to a good comprehensive list of those states? Especially if there's any commentary on assisted reproduction technology?

Who the heck knows right now? I’m glad that mine are all used up though. Banning IVF will definitely create political backlash, especially given the falling rate and sympathetic people who want children.

Given the damage forever chemicals do to us, it’s likely IVF will become more and more necessary.

I wonder if red states will ban the transfer of embryos to blue states?

It means if you're anti-abortion but pro-IVF than you're an effing moron.

Right now Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Utah have laws ban abortion at conception.

This. I have stopped trying but feel so bad for others on this infertility journey who will have to deal with these decisions.

I don't know what this site is but that is absolutely not true. Abortion is legal in Oklahoma until 22 weeks, Arkansas 20 weeks, Louisiana 20 weeks etc.

Many states have laws that automatically become abortion bans if Roe is overturned.

Ok but that is an entirely different thing than saying abortion is banned at conception right now.

Omg read the subject line. If they overturn Roe, which seems likely.

PP said these states have “laws [that] ban abortion,” not that they currently ban abortion. And those states could in fact have laws on the books that purport to ban abortion, even if those laws aren’t currently in effect due to Roe. I don’t think the Guttmacher Institute or PP are lying or wrong. This is just a misunderstanding.

No WE understand, you don't. They only reason these laws aren't in effect now is Roe prevents it.
