Alabama doctors and hospitals are urging the state Supreme Court to reconsider a ruling equating frozen embryos to children, which is impeding fertility treatments. Politicians like Sen. Klobuchar and Rep. Quigley advocate for protecting IVF access, while Republicans face criticism for blocking bills safeguarding IVF nationwide.

Alabama IVF Patient’s Warning to Others Outside the State: "You Are Not Safe" https://t.co/lu472pf4Ft
So many Virginia families have used IVF to create miracles and make their lifelong dreams come true. We must protect access to this critical medical care. I want to see us pass protections into federal law. https://t.co/iRDRrcWOgv
It has never been clearer that reproductive rights are under attack in this country. I will never waver in my decision to fight for bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom.
Where we are: Members of Congress are bringing IVF doctors as their guests to this year's State of the Union because 1) Republicans in Alabama just cut off people's access to IVF and 2) Republicans in Congress are backing bills defining embryos as human beings. JFC. https://t.co/TtqqwKEDw6
Across the US, thousands of people –from cancer patients, to veterans, to hopeful parents facing infertility–rely on IVF to start or grow their families. I spoke with @AymanMSNBC to share how I will never stop fighting to ensure that IVF remains an option for all who may need it. https://t.co/2JfJkNLqk7
Birth control is essential medication, and that’s why I’ve fought in the Senate to protect access to it. Now, I’m glad to see that women will have more options for their reproductive care, including purchasing birth control at their local pharmacy without a prescription. https://t.co/7J7q9Frj6z
Attacks on IVF across the country are causing confusion and worry for Arizona couples. That’s why I support federal protections for IVF, so everyone has the freedom to choose how and when to start a family. https://t.co/pIn041juSG

IVF is often a last resort for those struggling with infertility. It's a decision for patients & doctors, not judges and politicians. I joined @DemWomenCaucus colleagues on Capitol Hill urging Congress to pass legislation safeguarding IVF for women & families across the US. https://t.co/vvVV8X5cmj
The GOP's handling of women's rights with respect to abortion and IVF is an issue that can make or break this election, specifically in the swing states. Dems should be fighting back hard on this and using it to sway Bannon line voters against Trump says @TaraSetmayer on @MSNBC. https://t.co/b80XoFlX4T

"I was extremely angry." @AbbeyCrain had been undergoing in vitro fertilization treatments for nearly two years when the Alabama Supreme Court made its controversial ruling on frozen embryos, leading her clinic to pause treatments. https://t.co/LLFWOYVu16
Extremist Republicans are working to destroy women’s right to make their own healthcare choices. First, they targeted women who aren't ready to be moms, and now they're coming after anyone actively trying to start a family. https://t.co/eux1YCmmE7

Vermont has been on the forefront of protecting reproductive rights against GOP attacks. We know that they weren’t going to stop at abortion. Birth control, IVF, and more are at risk. I'll always fight to protect reproductive freedom for all. https://t.co/8FX8gLq9jF

If life begins at conception—and, in the chambers of Alabama’s highest court, it does—then any end of such a life is wrongful, even if a parent consents to it. What does this mean for I.V.F.? https://t.co/CePFQjAMgL
Mifepristone is a safe and legal medication that women have used for decades, and it’s critical that now major pharmacies will resume selling it this month. This is an important step in ensuring women have access to the health care they need. https://t.co/AzezNxzRRS
These are some of the many hopeful parents that @SenateGOP turned their backs on when they blocked my legislation to protect access to IVF nationwide. Shame on them. https://t.co/dRMZRYUefu
Many Americans use IVF to start or grow their families — but GOP attacks on IVF have put too many dreams on hold. Today I'm joining advocates to push for legislation that would protect IVF and reproductive health care nationwide. https://t.co/IA3KEctRKL
The GOP push against IVF reveals a new despicable low. @TaraSetmayer and @TheRickWilson on the latest ep of #TheBreakdown say their stance against IVF is draconian, anti-family, and anti-women. Sound on [loudspeaker emoji] as they get called out for their hypocrisy. https://t.co/0bXwZZ7Oiz
The war on women’s reproductive rights is having perverse consequences. When Alabama judges ruled that embryos are ‘children’, they threw IVF services into disarray. The crusade against abortion will mean less children will be born, says Ella Whelan https://t.co/fCQpH2neLZ

The IVF ruling in Alabama is a direct result of extremist Republican officials pushing for a national abortion ban. Families across the country deserve to make their own decisions on if, when, and how to have children — and they're counting on Congress to act.

Following an Alabama Supreme Court decision that stated embryos should be treated as "extrauterine children," voters voice their support for the procedure. Story: https://t.co/oqdyRQs5Rc https://t.co/oJpNl9TQvN
Although Trump and some Republican lawmakers have said they support IVF they have failed to take meaningful action to protect access and have failed to say whether they believe embryos should be considered people under the law. Story: https://t.co/oqdyRQs5Rc https://t.co/IUOM1oifw7
Don’t fall for extreme MAGA lies — 125 House Republicans cosponsor the Life at Conception Act, which has NO carveout or exception for IVF. We must fight to defend our reproductive freedoms from right-wing bans.
A reminder – 125 House Republicans support a bill banning abortion and could endanger access to IVF. https://t.co/4QTan73shx
Remember: Senate Republicans blocked our bill to protect IVF. The same party responsible for forcing women to stay pregnant is also creating nightmare situations for women who are trying to grow their families through IVF. This is about control & taking away women's autonomy.

Women should have control over their reproductive future. Not extremist politicians. Not right-wing judges. Not Donald Trump.
Actions speak louder than words. After the Alabama Supreme Court’s ruling on IVF, Republicans in Congress rushed to the microphones to proclaim their support for IVF. But then they said no to a bill that would protect access to IVF in every state. https://t.co/hLSCVUeuwI

IVF gives families hope. I proudly co-sponsored legislation this week to protect access to IVF from radical anti-abortion lawmakers.
Hope -- that's what the attack on IVF is taking away from families struggling with infertility. The GOP desire to control women's bodies is disturbing. Every time we think we've hit the post #RoeVWade rock bottom, unconscionable decisions sink us lower. https://t.co/fTQcJJ0Iyl

Republicans say they want to fix our border, but walked away from the toughest border reform deal in a generation. Republicans say they support IVF, but blocked my bill to protect IVF nationwide. Republicans are all talk and NO ACTION.
IVF is a miracle for millions of families, and no politician or court should interfere with that. This week, @SenSchumer, @SenatorBaldwin, @PattyMurray, and I joined @SenDuckworth to underscore the need for our bill to ensure IVF remains legal and accessible across the country. https://t.co/EVnrnK3vMl
IVF is not a fight Republicans want—yet it is one of several real-world questions that pro-lifers will now increasingly need to confront. Democrats, for their part, should not assume that the abortion debate can only win them votes https://t.co/yRXhZuzKp3 👇
Groups representing Alabama doctors and hospitals urged the state Supreme Court on Friday to revisit a decision equating frozen embryos to children, saying the ruling is blocking fertility treatments and harming the medical community. https://t.co/tKg0N8Q7UA
