The nation’s highest court will not hear an appeal involving an Alabama fertility clinic and a frozen embryo it allegedly destroyed. The legal case was part of an Alabama Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are children

Republicans have blocked for a second time this year legislation to establish a nationwide right to in vitro fertilization, arguing that the vote is an election-year stunt after Democrats forced a vote on the issue. The action was prompted, in part, by an Alabama Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that frozen embryos are “children.”

The Senate will vote for the second time this year on legislation that would establish a nationwide right to in vitro fertilization — Democrats' latest election-year attempt to force Republicans into a defensive stance on women's health issues. The action follows an Alabama Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that “frozen embryos are children.”

Families at the center of an Alabama Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are children are asking a judge to toss out a new state law that provides legal immunity to invitro fertilization providers.

A federal judge in Arkansas ruled that Alabama and sixteen other states have no standing to challenge federal rules entitling workers to time off and other accommodations for abortions.

Senate Democrats are seeking to highlight Republicans' resistance to legislation that would make it a right nationwide for women to access to invitro fertilization and other fertility treatments, holding a vote on the matter Thursday as part of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's effort to drive an election-year contrast on reproductive care. The action follows February’s Alabama Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are “children.”

A ruling by Alabama’s Supreme Court is prompting action in Congress. U.S. Senator Katie Britt is co-sponsoring a bill that would protect invitro fertilization clinics.

A federal judge said abortion rights advocates can proceed with lawsuits against Alabama's attorney general over threats to prosecute people who help women travel to another state to terminate pregnancies.

The Alabama Supreme Court on Friday declined to reconsider a controversial ruling that said frozen embryos are considered children under a state law.

Democrats in both Alabama and Florida are looking to the possible political blowback from conservative actions like the Sunshine State’s new six week abortion that takes effect starting in May. There's also the ongoing headaches from an Alabama Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are children. Activists in both States think reproductive rights could be a rallying cry during the November election
