"Alabama Lawmakers Seek Solution Amid Backlash Over IVF Ruling and GOP Scramble"

Alabama lawmakers are seeking solutions to protect in vitro fertilization services after a state Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos could be considered children under a state law. The ruling has led to a pause in IVF treatments and sparked backlash. Lawmakers are proposing separate legislation to prevent fertilized eggs from being recognized as human life until implanted in a woman's uterus, aiming to address the unintended consequences of a constitutional amendment recognizing the "rights of the unborn child." The ruling has raised legal uncertainties for IVF providers, prompting calls for legislative action to clarify the status of embryos and ensure the continuation of IVF services in Alabama.
