This year, Tennessee became the first state in the South to pass legislation specifically protecting in vitro fertilization — and the debate between Republicans made it clear that IVF does need some protection.
The fight to outlaw abortion in states like Tennessee has also crept into the clinics that help people conceive children. This hour, we’ll talk to local doctors who specialize in fertility and hear from several families who’ve been on the long, challenging and expensive road to creating a family with the help of IVF. The process and the politics. Join us!
Today’s episode was produced by Katherine Ruppelt.
