On the Wikipedia page for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) it is stated that: "To date, no state has implemented laws directly pertaining to PGD, therefore leaving researchers and clinicians to abide by guidelines set by the professional associations."

I will resolve the question to YES if aware of any US state introducing legislation that criminalizes the rejection of embryos (whether through abortion or non-implantation) in certain cases such as sex selection, 'savior siblings,' 'designer babies,' etc. At the closing time, I will provide a preliminary decision in the comments and await any potential corrections.
