The IVF Protection Act would prohibit Medicaid aid to states that ban IVF, which currently no state is contemplating. But critics are concerned about a legislation twice voted on by the Senate this year.
WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 07: U.S. Sen. Katie Britt speaks at a press conference on border security at the U.S. Capitol on December 07, 2023 in Washington, DC. The group of Republican Senators held a press conference calling for enhanced border security. Federal legislation backed by Republicans, and twice defeated in the U.S. Senate since June, puts Medicaid funding for states in the crosshairs of the debate over in vitro fertilization -, co-sponsored by Republican U.S.
The Republican “IVF Protection Act” doesn’t specifically mention religious liberty but says the act would not “compel any individual or organization to provide in vitro fertilization services.”which calls for a statutory right to access fertility treatments but does not tie Medicaid funding as a condition.
“It’s critical to low-income people particularly for children, pregnant women and seniors,” she said. “I don’t know of any state that has proposed to ban IVF, but this law doesn’t guarantee a right to IVF. And because of what happened in Alabama, people have begun to pay attention.” The legislation pitched in Alabama and other states like Iowa and Mississippi, would follow the Alabama State Supreme Court’s ruling that frozen embryos used during IVF were protected under the state’s wrongful death law.
“Not only is IVF at risk in Alabama, it is at risk in the United States due to the Alabama State Supreme Court,” Dunham said.The potential to remove Medicaid benefits could also loom as concerning to Alabama’s hospitals. Co-sponsoring legislation aimed at helping Alabamians access insulin, including the Affordable Insulin Now Act of 2023 to cap the price of insulin to all patients at $35 for a 30-day supply., which creates a guide to long-term mental health care efforts, and targets preventative interventions for those at risk of developing mental health challenges.
“The Republican Party strongly believes in respect for all human life,” Wahl said. “That includes the rights of parents hoping to start a family and citizens across the state needing medical care. It is the big government policies of the Democratic Party that have strangled doctors, hospitals, and healthcare options across Alabama and the nation.”
