The future of I.V.F. in Florida remains in limbo after two closely-watched decisions across the country. On Thursday, Alabama lawmakers voted to restore IVF access nearly two weeks after the state supreme court ruled that frozen eggs are children. But in Washington on Thursday, Mississippi Senator, Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith blocked a bill to protect IVF at the federal level, leaving it up to states to regulate. The decisions are being watched closely here in Florida. This week, because of the Alabama fall-out, Florida legislators tabled Senate Bill 476 'An act relating to civil liability for the wrongful 3 death of an unborn child', a controversial bill that would have allowed people to file wrongful death lawsuits over the death of a fetus. The bill's sponsor, Republican Senator Erin Grall said in a statement, “Although I have worked diligently to respond to questions and concerns, I understand there is still work that needs to be done. It is important we get the policy right with an issue of this significance.” But as this legislation is "put on ice", local fertility clinics say it's creating anxiety for them, and Floridians who want to grow their families.
