In response to an unprecedented state Supreme Court ruling, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed a bill into law late Wednesday to protect in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients and providers from legal liability.
The move comes after the court's recent decision in a case concerning the accidental destruction of frozen embryos at a fertility clinic. The court declared frozen embryos as human beings and those who destroy them can be held liable for wrongful death, raising concerns about reproductive health freedom and IVF access, CNN reported.
