"Alabama Legislature Takes Action to Safeguard IVF Treatment Access"

Both chambers of the Alabama Legislature passed bills to protect in vitro fertilization (IVF) following a state Supreme Court ruling that deemed embryos as children. The bills aim to provide immunity for individuals and entities involved in IVF services, but have faced criticism for not fully addressing the broader issues raised by the ruling. Lawmakers are working to pass a unified version of the legislation before sending it to the governor for approval, amid concerns that the ruling could impact IVF practices in the state.
