Alabama lawmakers are moving fast to approve measures this week to protect in vitro fertilization clinics from lawsuits in response to an uproar sparked by last month's state Supreme Court ruling that found frozen embryos have the rights of children under the state’s wrongful death law. Either of the two bills would give legal protection for fertility clinics, at least three of which paused IVF treatments after the court ruling to assess their new liability risks. Here are things to know about the bills and the process of turning one of them into law. One lawmaker wanted to amend the House bill to prohibit clinics from intentionally discarding embryos, but that was rejected. Lawmakers are expected to give final approval to one — or maybe both — on Wednesday and send legislation to Gov.
