Ep. 55 - Alabama court case, IVF and the implications for families
While Jessica typically doesn't talk about current events, she is making an exception today to discuss the recent Alabama Supreme Court decision surrounding IVF.
In this episode, Jessica explains the details surrounding this case and the wide reaching implications it has for reproductive care and the families desperately looking to have children.
Her goals for anyone listening are to increase the conversation around compassion for others and the understanding that there is nuance when it comes to decisions around people's bodies - it's not black or white. As a physical therapist, women's health advocate and IVF mom, Jessica comes to this discussion with knowledge, personal experience and empathy. It's an important conversation for anyone wanting to know how to support their neighbors and be in community with their fellow humans.
