Alabama legislature passes bill aiming to protect IVF after embryo ruling

Measure intends to provide legal protection to clinics after state's supreme court ruled embryos were extrauterine children'

Alabama lawmakers moved to protect in vitro fertilization treatments in the state, days after a state judicial ruling on embryos led to clinics that offered the reproductive technique to suspend services.

Alabama's house and senate both passed a measure Thursday intended to provide legal protections to IVF clinics, a temporary fix to problems created by a supreme court ruling that deemed frozen embryos extrauterine children".
