  • IVF and the Anti-Abortion Movement

    Open AccessStephanie K Boy, Evan Harris et al.ARTICLEAdvances in Social Work2020

    As the anti-abortion movement gains ground in the United States, it is important to explore the potential impact of overturning Roe v. Wade (1973) on the practice of IVF (in vitro fertilization).

In all likelihood, legally establishing life to begin at conception may …
