AntiAbortion Group Advises State Lawmakers Not to Go After IVF or Birth Control Just Yet
"During an October 27 call with Tennessee lawmakers, anti-abortion groups urged them to stay the course on their strict abortion ban (which criminalizes doctors), but added that now isn’t the right time to restrict IVF and birth control—because people are still angry about the abortion law. ProPublica obtained audio from the meeting, which is a reminder that these deeply unpopular laws attacking reproductive choice often come from lobbying groups.
In recent months, politicians have been more explicit about their desire to restrict IVF and emergency contraception. It’s routine to discard extra embryos created during the process of IVF. The two forms of emergency contraception—the morning-after pill and the copper IUD (if inserted shortly after unprotected sex)—work by preventing ovulation and preventing sperm from fertilizing an egg, respectively. They do not interrupt an existing pregnancy and thereby do not cause an abortion, but many anti-abortion groups wrongly believe emergency contraception can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus and, as such, want to ban it."
