Dem-backed IVF bill slammed by GOP as broad fails key hurdle in Senate
Fox News
The Senate voted against advancing a Democratic-backed legislative package that would have expanded access to in vitro fertilization services.
Republicans Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine were the only two GOP lawmakers to vote in favor of the bill.
The vote comes after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are legally people and ruled that those who destroy them are liable. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey subsequently signed legislation into law in March that protects medical professionals from civil and criminal immunity in case of unintentional death or damage to an embryo.
