TBU Legal Watch | The Louisiana IVF Bill That Could Gut Pro-Life Protections
In this Legal Watch episode of the Them Before Us podcast, Jenn and Patience unpack a new Louisiana bill framed as “protecting IVF”, but which, in reality, dismantles key legal protections for human embryos.
Patience explains how the bill, introduced by Senator Thomas Pressly, misrepresents the now-infamous “Alabama situation” to justify stripping parental rights at fertilization, limiting legal accountability for negligent IVF clinics, and replacing adoption language with property-style “donation” terms.
Rather than improving care or safety, the bill prioritizes shielding the IVF industry from consequences, jeopardizing Louisiana’s national leadership in pro-life embryo protections. The episode calls on listeners to see through the rhetoric, demand real reforms, and protect both life and family.Check out our IVF | FYI series for a deep dive on all things IVF industry and more about this Louisiana bill here.
