U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is working to protect access to IVF, after the Alabama Supreme Court decision that puts reproductive rights in jeopardy.
Gillibrand, D-N.Y., is pushing access to the Family Building Act. It’s legislation that would protect access to in vitro fertilization and other assisted reproductive technology services.
The bill would establish a woman’s right under federal law to access services, protect a medical provider’s right to offer them and safeguard an insurance carrier’s right to cover them.
The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are children and that those who destroy them can be held liable for wrongful death.
