GOP Senator Blocks Bill Protecting Access To IVF In Wake Of Alabama Ruling
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON ― Democratic legislation seeking to protect access to in vitro fertilization across the country was blocked in the Senate on Wednesday by Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. “The bill before us today is a vast overreach that is full of poison pills that go way too far, far beyond ensuring legal access to IVF,” Hyde-Smith said on the Senate floor. The Democrat’s bill would allow IVF treatment to continue in states like Alabama, where a court granted embryos the same legal rights as children under the state’s wrongful death statute. Although many congressional Republicans recognize that IVF helps build families, many also agree with the Alabama Supreme Court’s decision that embryos should be treated like children. Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via Getty Images Sen. Joni Ernst told reporters she supports access to IVF but wouldn’t say that embryos aren’t children.
