"Sen. Tammy Duckworth Pushes for Stronger Protections for IVF in Alabama"

Sen. Tammy Duckworth criticizes Alabama's new law protecting IVF, stating that it "does not go far enough" in addressing the issue of whether a fertilized egg is considered a human being with rights. The legislation, signed into law by Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, shields clinics from criminal liability but does not directly confront the recent controversial ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court. Duckworth, who has re-introduced a bill to provide federal protection to IVF services, emphasizes the need for nationwide IVF access and reproductive rights.
