LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Nevada Democrats launched a proposal Wednesday to create a state regulation defending the correct to in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Senate Invoice 217 would create a regulation safeguarding IVF remedy, add safety for fertility therapies and broaden protection necessities, Senate Democrats stated in a information launch.
“IVF can make successful pregnancies a reality for families who might otherwise be unable to have a baby, and it deserves strong legal protections,” Senate Majority Chief Nicole Cannizzaro stated. “Congress hasn’t done nearly enough to protect IVF or a woman’s right to make decisions about infertility treatments. Nevada will stand up for people affected by infertility and their rights to access the medical treatments they may need to start a thriving family.”
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed an government order to broaden entry to IVF, although it doesn’t change any current regulation on the outset.
Final yr, the Alabama Supreme Courtroom dominated that frozen embryos are thought of kids below their state regulation.
In November, Nevada voters authorized a poll measure to ensure the correct to an abortion as much as 24 weeks. The initiative, which amends the state structure, will go earlier than voters once more in 2026. A 1990 Nevada regulation contains related language.
