WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Patty Murray is urging the passage of legislation to protect IVF rights in response to the recent decision in Alabama.
In a press conference, Murray stated, ‘Women aren’t just going to ‘forget’ who is responsible for this—who ripped away their dreams of building their families.’
The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are legally considered children, citing the state Constitution’s rights of an unborn child. This decision would allow three couples to sue for wrongful death after their frozen embryos were destroyed in an accident.
Murray concluded the conference by saying her heart goes out to the women in Alabama, stating, ‘If Republicans genuinely support the right to build families through IVF, they can prove it tomorrow on the floor.
