Roe v. Wade Overturn: What Happens Next for Reproductive Healthcare


The recent Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has sparked widespread concern and uncertainty regarding the future of reproductive healthcare in the United States. With 13 states enacting "trigger laws" that automatically restrict or ban abortion following this ruling, many are left wondering how this will impact other areas of reproductive care, including fertility treatments.



What Does This Mean for California?

California is not one of the states affected by these trigger laws. Governor Gavin Newsom has been vocal in his commitment to preserving reproductive rights in the state, and California continues to stand as a protector of reproductive freedom. As such, the Supreme Court’s decision will not impact the operations of San Diego Fertility Center. We remain committed to providing high-quality fertility care to all our patients.



Potential Impact on Fertility Treatments and Birth Control

While the ruling does not immediately affect assisted reproductive technologies like In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) in California, there are concerns about how anti-abortion laws in other states could influence fertility care. In some states, the language or interpretation of new laws could potentially limit the use of IVF or restrict access to certain forms of birth control. As a result, many in the reproductive healthcare community are carefully monitoring how these laws could affect fertility treatments in various parts of the country.



IVF, Embryo Handling, and Miscarriage Care Remain Unaffected

At San Diego Fertility Center, our patients can rest assured that the recent ruling will not affect their ability to undergo IVF, make decisions regarding the testing or discarding of embryos, or receive appropriate care for ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages. Our patients will continue to have the freedom to make informed choices about their fertility treatment and family-building journeys.



Our Commitment to Patient Care

We are fortunate to practice in California, where medical decisions are guided by the best interests of our patients' health and safety, free from the restrictions seen in other states. Even during these uncertain times, our dedication to providing compassionate, patient-centered fertility care remains unwavering. 


We will continue to advocate for the rights of our patients and ensure they receive the highest standard of care as they work to build their families.
