The Biden administration announced that it was convening a session of its various arms in response to what it falsely claimed was a “devastating Alabama Supreme Court ruling that has halted access to IVF in much of the state.”

Neither Alabama nor any other state halted access to IVF. The Alabama Supreme Court did not halt access to IVF. Three Alabama clinics chose to halt IVF treatments (with likely devastating results) over the ruling even though the Alabama Attorney General had already stated that no clinics were in danger or were impacted by the ruling for providing IVF services.

Since the Biden administration and its political and media allies set off this hysteria purely for political purposes, the Alabama legislature rushed through a bill addressing the situation.

The State House and Senate will reconcile the bills while the governor is ready to sign off on it.

The Alabama Supreme Court decision did not criminalize doctors or labs performing normal IVF procedures. The Alabama AG stated that there was no plan to target IVF providers. Both houses of the legislature and the governor rushed to remove any possible doubts on the matter.

But the Biden administration and the media shouldn’t be expected to stop lying about what happened. And making the whole thing possible were the local assets that staged the whole thing by claiming that there was a crisis when there wasn’t one. Those same clinics and organizations are insisting that the bill isn’t good enough and that there is still a crisis. Alabama should begin cracking down on medical professionals who have decided to take their patients hostage in order to score political points.

The only “halt” on IVF procedures in Alabama came from Democrats.
