Expressing support for continued access to fertility care and assisted reproductive technology, such as in vitro fertilization, in light of the Supreme Court of Alabama's ruling that has jeopardized access to in vitro fertilization and other assisted reproductive technology.
HRES 1043 is a non-binding congressional resolution expressing support for continued access to fertility care and in vitro fertilization (IVF) following a February 2024 Alabama Supreme Court ruling that threatened IVF services. The resolution condemns the Alabama ruling, which caused clinics to suspend IVF care and raised concerns about legal liability for providers. It urges federal and state officials to protect access to IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies, calling for legislative action to prevent further restrictions. The resolution directly addresses the immediate impact on Alabama patients and providers but does not create new laws or alter existing regulations.
