What a great time last Thursday getting the opportunity to present to my legal colleagues at the Assisted Reproduction Committee’s annual conference in Montreal on the topic of independent surrogacy journeys and how to handle the legal aspects in the U.S. Kudos to my co-presenter Natalie Sutherland for highlighting the process in the U.K., and much thanks to our moderator Meryl Rosenberg and producer Stephanie Brinkley

As many of you know, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that “Frozen embryos are ‘children’”. As many don’t know, my son was born in October to an amazing surrogate in October *in Alabama* and he was the result of IVF… the very practice that is now gutted by this ruling! So as you can imagine, I am having some pretty strong feelings right now! 🤬😤😩

While our IVF itself occurred at a clinic in New York, I feel strong ties to Alabama because of our experience. Our son—a result of IVF—has an Alabama birth certificate for goodness sake! Our parentage order is the result of Alabama law. The nurses and doctors that cared for our baby upon delivery and our amazing carrier throughout her pregnancy are all wonderful Alabamians.

But now THIS! I am so heartbroken because the ruling, while perhaps rooted in good intentions, results in preventing others in Alabama from doing what I did and using IVF to have their family. WTF!🤬

From :

What does this mean for the 1 in 6 people impacted by ?

This anti-family ruling will likely have devastating consequences, including impacting the standard of care provided by the state’s five fertility clinics. This new legal framework may make it impossible to offer services like , a standard medical treatment for infertility. It also remains unclear what this decision means for families who currently have embryos stored at these clinics.

This ruling has profound implications far beyond Alabama’s borders. Every American who wants or needs access to family building options like IVF should be deeply concerned about this development and the precedent it will set across the country. RESOLVE also mourns with the couples who lost their embryos as we know how many challenges people face when trying to build their family.

RESOLVE will continue to be on the front lines, protecting these options and ensuring everyone has the support and access to family building support they deserve.

The Dobbs decision returned decision-making on the important topic of healthcare back to the people of each state—eliminating federal protection for those seeking necessary or desired care during a pregnancy, and signaling in the dissenting decision of some justices (Clarence Thomas, for one) that their work in chipping away at federal protections is not done and that they are anxious to go after protections to marriage equality, contraception access and more.

Let this one year anniversary of that horrific decision be a reminder to stay vigilant, stay active in promoting those freedoms and access that you hold dear, and to VOTE VOTE VOTE in ALL local, state and federal elections against legislation harmful to reproductive and other freedoms, and to use your voice and your vote to choose candidates that promote the ideas of freedom to live and let be, and that healthcare decisions should be between doctors and their patients and not forced upon people in the form of misguided restrictions.

When personal experience, passion and know-how combine, it makes for a winning combination and leads to a business that puts empathy and compassion first.
