Chuck Darwin<p>“The three embryos that we have, that are frozen right now, that we can’t use as of right now, are very important to us and our best hope,” Tucker Legerski said. “I don’t know if we would be able to afford another egg retrieval and transfer or creating more embryos, because of the emotional and financial costs.”</p><p>The Legerskis are far from the only prospective parents wondering what the future of IVF holds, both inside Alabama and beyond its borders. IVF patients and advocates in Alabama are rushing to figure out what the ruling and subsequent cessation of care means for their deeply time-sensitive plans. </p><p>Outside Alabama, people are petrified that similar restrictions could soon surface in their state now that Alabama has blazed a trail.</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/feb/24/us-infertility-patients-ivf-alabama-ruling" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/society/2024/f</span><span class="invisible">eb/24/us-infertility-patients-ivf-alabama-ruling</span></a></p><p> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Florida" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Florida</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Alabama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alabama</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/fetal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fetal</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/personhood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>personhood</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/IVF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IVF</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/extrauterine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>extrauterine</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>children</span></a></p>
