A surprise ruling from the Alabama Supreme Court has halted
fertility treatments across the state and sent a shock wave
through the world of reproductive health.

Azeen Ghorayshi, who covers sex, gender, and science for The
Times, explains what the court case means for reproductive health
and a patient in Alabama explains what it is like navigating the
fallout.

Guests: Azeen Ghorayshi, who covers sex, gender and science for
The New York Times; and Meghan S. Cole, who is in the final
stages of IVF treatment in Alabama.
