Two more IVF providers in Alabama have paused parts of their treatment, sending patients scrambling to make other plans after the state Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are legally considered children.

Alabama Fertility Services (AFS) said it has made “the impossibly difficult decision… due to the legal risk to our clinic and our embryologists”.
