We continue our conversation with Alabama-based writer and artist Abbey Crain, who had been receiving in vitro fertilization treatments for about two years when the state Supreme Court issued its controversial ruling that frozen embryos are “children,” opening both patients and medical providers to new legal risks. State lawmakers have since passed protections for IVF providers, but they have not challenged the underlying logic of the court ruling. Crain says IVF is coming under threat as part of a larger Republican assault on reproductive healthcare, warning people outside the state, in a recent Glamour article, that “you are not special and you are not safe” from similar restrictions.
