Alabama lawmakers, responding to public pressure weeks after a controversial state Supreme Court ruling that equated frozen embryos with children, have passed Republican-backed legislation aimed at protecting in vitro fertilization (IVF) providers from legal liability. The legislation, which provides civil and criminal immunity for IVF providers, received final approval and was swiftly signed into law by Governor Kay Ivey. This legislative action is expected to allow fertility clinics, including two specific clinics mentioned, to resume services without the threat of crippling lawsuits, addressing concerns from both the medical community and potential parents. The bill's passage was fast-tracked through both chambers of the Alabama Legislature, reflecting the urgency of restoring access to IVF services in the state.
