A lawsuit by three Jewish women seeking to overturn Kentucky’s laws banning abortions has gained more attention since in vitro fertilization clinics in Alabama shut down after a state Supreme Court ruling in that state. Lisa Sobel said she and her husband’s four-year-old daughter is a product of IVF and after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down federal abortion protections, she and others in the IVF community grew concerned.
“Many of the trigger laws across the country, and specifically here in Kentucky, were going to put IVF in jeopardy because they defined life as beginning at the point when a sperm and an egg meet.”
