Senate Republic blocks bill that would protect access to IVF nationwide
“One Senate Republican scuttled a Democrat-led effort to pass legislation that would safeguard access to IVF nationwide. The bill aims to preempt state efforts to restrict access to the fertility treatments since a ruling earlier the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos could be considered children under a state law. The decision made it possible for couples whose frozen embryos were accidentally destroyed to sue for wrongful death of their “extrauterine children.” The ruling has paused IVF treatments and processes in the state as providers evaluate their liability.” – CBS News
Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) first introduced the legislation, known as the Access to Family Building Act, with Sen. Patty Murray in 2022… The bill would create federal protections for IVF access nationwide, after access to the fertility treatment often used by women who struggle to become pregnant has come into question under state law in Alabama. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, a Mississippi Republican blocked the bill again. – CBS News
