"Efforts to Protect IVF Clinics Stalled by Republican Opposition"

The Alabama House of Representatives passed a bill to provide legal protections for in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics in response to a recent court ruling that classified frozen embryos as unborn children under state law. The bill, which is not a permanent solution, aims to allow IVF procedures to resume by granting immunity to clinics from legal action related to IVF services. The debate over the bill highlighted concerns about the legal status of embryos and the need for a long-term solution, with some lawmakers expressing conflicting views on the issue.
