CNN reports that some clinics are ready to lift a hold on certain IVF services as early as this week. . The Alabama bill comes after an unprecedented state Supreme Court ruling cast the future of IVF care into doubt. The Supreme Court case reportedly stemmed from the accidental destruction of frozen embryos at a fertility clinic. The state Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are human beings, meaning that those who destroy them could be held liable for wrongful death.

CNN reports that experts have warned that the latest bill could also insulate providers from standard medical malpractice claims. The governor stressed that the new law is meant to be a "short-term measure" and reassured that "there will be more work to come" on ensuring IVF protections.
