"GOP's Efforts to Protect IVF Face Opposition in Senate"

Alabama GOP advances bills to protect in vitro fertilization after a state Supreme Court ruling deemed embryos as people, prompting a national backlash. The proposed legislation aims to shield IVF patients, doctors, and professionals from prosecution and civil suits, but faces criticism from Democratic lawmakers for not addressing the core question of whether a frozen embryo created via IVF should be legally considered a child. The controversial ruling has sparked a debate on reproductive rights and the definition of life, leading to pressure on Republican legislators to find a legislative fix to protect IVF in the state.
