Despite bipartisan interest in safeguarding IVF services, legislation is not likely to make it to President Joe Biden’s desk.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz introduced a bill on Monday that would cut funding to states that ban in vitro fertilization services, which have landed in legal peril as Republican states ban abortion. Cruz introduced the IVF Protection Act with Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama , where the state’s top court ruled in February that the state’s abortion ban meant frozen embryos created through IVF are considered children and cannot be destroyed.
Texas doctors wary but hopeful IVF will be protected after Alabama ruling Under the Cruz-Britt bill, states that prohibit IVF would lose access to Medicaid funding if they ban IVF. The bill does not address situations where states don’t outright ban IVF but place limits on access or courts issue orders that effectively restrict the procedure. “IVF has given miraculous hope to millions of Americans, and it has given families across the country the gift of children,” Cruz said in a press release.
Ted Cruz, other Texans react to Supreme Court abortion bombshell: 'A massive victory' In February, after the Alabama court ruling, Allred said Cruz hadn’t done anything to protect access to IVF, and he reiterated the same sentiment on Monday. “Cruz’s long-standing support for an extreme ban on abortion which is now threatening IVF is why we are here,” Allred said in a release.
