Frozen Embryo Safety: Out-of-State Transportation Services and Storage

Written by PFCLA | 06 Jul 2022

The recent overturn of the Roe vs. Wade ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States has impacted fertility services in many states across our nation. Some states have banned or restricted abortion access which may affect those undergoing fertility treatment and have frozen embryos. Experts are turning to cryopreservation in states that are maintaining abortion access.
