    Alabama attorney general, Steve Marshall, said that he did not intend to prosecute IVF doctors or patients

    “Trust me, bro” is a terrifying way to write laws.

      Certainly seems like Alabama just killed any IVF industry they had in the state. No one is gonna run a business on a handshake or a wink.

          I think you’re right. I guess we’ll see if this is enough to split between the “pro-life” people who don’t want to see third trimester abortions and the “pro-life” people who think even barrier method contraceptives are a sin. Banning IVF is going to impact a hell of a lot of their bread and butter middle+ class, white, heterosexual couples looking to have families.

          I guess that’s what they’re after too, a shift in the Overton window where the people who “only” want to ban third trimester abortions become middle of the road.
