AI Summary
This resolution condemns the Alabama Supreme Court's ruling in *LePage v. Mobile Infirmary Clinic, P.C.*, which declared that embryos are "extrauterine children" and therefore protected under the state's "Wrongful Death of A Minor Act." This decision led to the closure of IVF clinics and halted IVF services in Alabama, impacting individuals struggling with infertility who rely on treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF), a process where an egg is fertilized by sperm in a lab and the resulting embryo is transferred to the uterus. The resolution also reaffirms New Jersey's commitment to protecting reproductive freedom and access to reproductive healthcare, including IVF and embryo transfers, for its citizens.
