Senate Republicans introduce legislation to legalize IVF treatment nationally
SUMMARY: Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Katie Britt are introducing federal legislation to protect in vitro fertilization (IVF) access nationwide. This follows an Alabama Supreme Court ruling classifying embryos from IVF as children, causing concern among prospective parents. The bill aims to ensure IVF access by tying it to federal Medicaid funding, addressing misunderstandings and legal uncertainties. Cruz and Britt emphasize that the bill does not force individuals or organizations to provide IVF but ensures it remains accessible. While Alabama has a state law protecting IVF patients, Democrats have also proposed similar legislation, which faced opposition from Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith.
