Democrats' IVF 'Protection' Bill Would Strip Rights From IVF Parents

Late last month, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth introduced a bill to establish federal protections for in vitro fertilization and other fertility treatments. It was pure political theatre.The scare tactics are snowballing in the wake of the Alabama Supreme Court's February 16 decision that three couples could use the state's Wrongful Death of a Minor Act to seek justice after their fertility clinic negligently allowed for the death of their embryos.

Meanwhile, Reproductive Freedom for All, formerly known as NARAL Pro-Choice America, launched a campaign to shield the IVF industry from accountability in even the most egregious of circumstances.That's interesting because, outside of selective reductions, we don't usually associate the abortion rights movement with the nearly $20 billion—and growing—industry of assisting reproduction. Usually, they're rather the opposite.
