A constitutional amendment in Mississippi, set
to come up for a vote on November 8, could have negative impact on
invitro-fertilization.
This amendment could spread to at least twelve
States, including Florida and Ohio and seeks to classify a fertilized human egg
as a legal person, thus making abortion and some forms of birth control (like
the morning after pill) murder.

From the article:-
“As
Hines explains, for IVF to have a decent chance of success, doctors have to try
to fertilize more eggs than they intend to implant. “A basic problem in IVF is
that we cannot look at an egg and determine that egg will get you pregnant,” he
says. “In order to enhance the pregnancy rate, we stimulate the patient and
take all the eggs that we can get and combine those with sperm. Then the eggs
and the sperm determine which ones are actually going to lead to pregnancy.
Some will not fertilize. Some will not become embryos, and some embryos will
not progress."
