Anti-abortion advocates justify abortion bans by saying they're protecting life. Yet, in the likely event Roe v. Wade is overturned, it could affect one of the key procedures that helps families build a family and create life: in vitro fertilization (IVF).
A common procedure for families who have trouble conceiving, IVF involves fertilizing a human egg cell outside of the human body, then re-implanting it in one's uterus and carrying it to term. IVF is a common procedure, and it is estimated that from 1987 to 2015, 1 million babies were born through IVF in the United States.
