The University of Alabama Birmingham, the largest medical centre in the southern state, suspended in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatments after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled on 16 February that frozen embryos were children.12
About 2% of US births about 97 000 a year are thought to be from assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF. Often many fertilised embryos are created but only a few are implanted in the uterus in hopes of creating a pregnancy. The rest are stored in freezers for future use, for donations to other couples, for research, or are destroyed if the couples do not plan further pregnancies, do not want to pay storage fees, get divorced, or die.

An estimated 64 565 pregnancies have resulted from rape in the 14 US states with total bans on abortion, says a research letter published in JAMA Internal Medicine .1
The researchers wrote, “Thousands of girls and women in states that banned abortion experienced rape-related pregnancy, but few (if any) obtained in-state abortions legally, suggesting that the rape exceptions fail to provide reasonable access to abortion for survivors.”
Victims of rape who become pregnant in states with abortion bans sometimes seek a self-managed abortion or try to travel often hundreds of miles to a state where abortion is legal, but this leaves many without a practical alternative to carrying the pregnancy to term, the authors added. The right to abortion was overturned by the US Supreme Court in June 2022, which returned abortion decisions to the 50 states. Nearly half of states have since restricted abortions.2
