A Democratic-led effort to safeguard access to IVF failed earlier this year in the Senate.
Washington — Two Senate Republicans on Monday introduced legislation to protect access to in vitro fertilization, known as IVF , after a Democratic-led effort to do so failed earlier this year in the upper chamber.The bill, titled the IVF Protection Act, was introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama . It seeks to safeguard IVF nationwide by banning states from receiving Medicaid funding if they enact an outright ban on the fertility procedure.
The Alabama ruling could have major implications on the procedure, and raises questions about whether frozen embryos that are not transferred into a woman's uterus will have to be stored indefinitely or whether charges could be brought for wrongful death if an embryo does not survive the process. Several clinics in Alabama paused IVF treatments after the ruling over fears of legal repercussions if the treatment failed.
