Some fertility clinics and transport services are worried about shipping embryos following the Alabama Supreme Court’s ruling that embryos are children.

Some fertility clinics and shipping services plan to hold off on sending frozen embryos from Alabama to other states as they weigh the legal implications of an Alabama court ruling that says embryos created through in vitro fertilization are children.

Many doctors and patients are confused about which elements of fertility treatment are restricted, following the Alabama Supreme Court decision last week, and at least three Alabama providers have paused IVF services. Some IVF patients have considered moving their embryos out of the state to continue the process elsewhere, only to learn that the option isn’t available to them right now.

    I hope more and more health care providers start moving out of red states. Stupid games should have stupid prizes. A year or two of “pioneer medicine” might teach them to vote better.

    (I know, they consistently vote against their own interests, but a few of them do learn to do better. Have seen it happen.)

    There’s a shortage of doctors and nurses everywhere. So almost anywhere they move to, they will be helping to alleviate suffering there. Let the red states fend for themselves, since they think they are rugged individuals.

      Anytime something bad happens as a result of their voting habits they just blame Obama.

      I would rather more blue voters move to these red states and flip them. But you know, convincing 1 million of California’s 40 million to move to Alabama is a tall order.

        As a blue voter in a red state (I grew up here) there’s a real problem with that of you have to live here. Also if Californians could please stop coming here actually that would be nice. California conservatives keep coming here and acting like it’s some great place where they can be super conservative and talk down to us midwestern yokels. Like motherfucker you moved to one of the bluest cities in the Midwest, it’s not our fault our state suffered brain drain and went red as a result, also quit with your Orange County bullshit.
