Thinking about the Alabama Supreme Court decision.

There has to be a group of people who are in shock that their votes for pro-life policies mean that they might not become parents or grandparents.

One of the implications of the decision is that doctors can only make one embryo at a time, and that embryo must be transferred no matter the quality. If the cycle fails, the process must start again.

"Each transfer requires months’ worth of expensive medication, including injectable, both before and after the procedure. And each failed cycle requires the patient to start all over again. Most states (including Alabama) do not require insurance to cover IVF, and each cycle can cost up to $30,000."

Even if someone in Alabama had insurance that covered IVF, I highly doubt that insurance would cover the procedure if done out of state.
