"Challenges and Controversies Surrounding IVF Legislation in the United States"
Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth has introduced a bill to protect national access to IVF following the Alabama Supreme Court's ruling that frozen embryos are considered unborn children, causing fertility clinics in the state to pause IVF treatments. Duckworth, who has been trying to build bipartisan support for IVF access, shared her personal experience with fertility treatments and expressed concerns about the potential impact of the ruling on IVF procedures. She criticized Republican lawmakers in Alabama for attempting to pass legislation to protect IVF, stating that they have historically worked to limit access to reproductive healthcare.
