Alabama Legislature Passes Bills to Protect IVF Providers

The new legislation grants criminal and civil immunity to in vitro fertilization providers, following a controversial Supreme Court decision.

Alabama's Legislature has approved bills granting immunity to IVF providers after a court ruling declared frozen embryos as children.
The bills aim to address concerns and reopen IVF programs, with both Republicans and Democrats debating potential consequences.
Critics argue the legislation sidesteps the core issue of when life begins, while supporters seek to protect fertility treatments.
Some Republicans call for more restrictions on IVF, highlighting a divide within the party on reproductive rights.
The legislation is seen as a temporary fix, with calls for a long-term solution to protect IVF and address legal and ethical concerns.
