The Republican Party has changed its official platform on abortion, taking a less extreme position that reflects both former President Donald Trump's statements on the issue and the new political realities. Previously, the platform called for constitutional changes that would ban abortion nationwide. Now, it says the matter should be left to the states. Republican National Convention (RNC) delegates approved the amended platform on Monday. Why Republican Reproductive Rhetoric Is ShiftingThe change is interesting for what it says about the shifting politics of abortion in America. A majority of...

Exposure to air pollution can significantly lower the chance of having a live birth after in vitro fertilisation (IVF), according to new research that indicates poor air quality impacts fertility at an earlier stage than previously known. The study included roughly 1,800 patients and 3,700 frozen embryo transfers from 2013 to 2021 in Perth, Australia. Researchers analysed exposure to fine particulate matter at various points before the patients’ eggs were collected, and followed them throughout their pregnancies later on. Women who had the highest level of pollutant exposure in the two weeks b...

France's biomedicine agency is calling for more sperm and egg donations, saying the number of donors is "insufficient" to meet increasing demand.

These procedures had originally only been available for heterosexual couples or for medical reasons.

Washington (AFP) - Lawmakers in Alabama passed legislation Thursday to protect health workers at IVF clinics from legal liability after the southern US state's supreme court ruled frozen embryos are children, in an issue that has threatened to become an election flashpoint. Bills "to provide civil and criminal immunity" to people and entities providing such care in case an embryo is damaged or destroyed cleared both Republican-controlled chambers, the legislature's official webpage showed. The conservative state's Republican governor, Kay Ivey, who has also voiced support for protecting in vit...

Washington (AFP) - A wave of Republicans led by Donald Trump vowed Friday to protect in vitro fertilization in the wake of an Alabama court ruling that said frozen embryos should be considered children, in what could become a galvanizing issue in the 2024 election. Democrats have made the preservation of reproductive rights a central part of their campaign, with women in conservative states that have strict abortion bans facing problems accessing emergency care for life-threatening pregnancies. "Like the overwhelming majority of Americans, including the vast majority of Republicans, conservati...
