Alabama
Over the past several years, the members of Alabama have weathered their fair share of health challenges and other logistical difficulties, keeping them from the stage. So they never take the opportunity to tour for granted — and they’re getting that chance once again in 2024. On Thursday (March 21), the group announced a lineup of dates billed as the 2024 Roll On II North American Tour, a reprisal of their 2023 tour of the same name. It’s a nod to the band’s “Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler),” a hit from 1984, as well as a fitting name for a tour presented by Kenworth Trucking Company. In a stateme...

Alabama lawmakers facing public pressure to restart in vitro fertilisation (IVF) services in the state advanced legislation to shield providers from the fallout of a court ruling that equated frozen embryos to children. Committees in the state Senate and House on Tuesday approved identical bills that would protect providers from lawsuits and criminal prosecution for the “damage or death of an embryo” during IVF services. The state's three major IVF providers paused services after the Alabama Supreme Court's ruling last month because of the sweeping liability concerns it raised. Lawmakers are a...

Washington (AFP) - Lawmakers in Alabama passed legislation Thursday to protect health workers at IVF clinics from legal liability after the southern US state's supreme court ruled frozen embryos are children, in an issue that has threatened to become an election flashpoint. Bills "to provide civil and criminal immunity" to people and entities providing such care in case an embryo is damaged or destroyed cleared both Republican-controlled chambers, the legislature's official webpage showed. The conservative state's Republican governor, Kay Ivey, who has also voiced support for protecting in vit...

Die US-Regierung hat eine Entscheidung des Obersten Gerichts des US-Bundesstaats Alabama als einen «Angriff» auf künstliche Befruchtung bezeichnet. «Ärzte haben Angst vor strafrechtlicher Verfolgung, Fruchtbarkeitskliniken stellen den Betrieb ein», sagte die Sprecherin des Weißen Hauses, Karine Jean-Pierre, in Washington. Das Gericht des Bundesstaats hatte zuletzt entschieden, dass eingefrorene Embryonen als Kinder gelten. Mehrere Kliniken in dem südlichen Bundesstaat, die künstliche Befruchtung, auch In-Vitro-Fertilisation (IVF) genannt, durchführen, setzten daraufhin ihre entsprechenden Beha...

Los directivos del hospital de la Universidad de Alabama, el mayor centro médico del Estado de Alabama han suspendido los tratamientos de fecundación in vitro por temor a ser acusados de delitos penales.

El asunto está relacionado con un caso de 2020 en el que una paciente destruyó varios embriones en una clínica de reproducción asistida. Los dirigentes de la Universidad de Alabama, en la ciudad de Birmingham, están evaluando la situación. La sentencia po...

Washington (AFP) - An Alabama university temporarily halted in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments on Wednesday after the high court in the southern US state ruled that frozen embryos outside the womb are children. The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) said it had paused IVF treatments "as it evaluates the Alabama Supreme Court's decision that a cryopreserved embryo is a human being." "We are saddened that this will impact our patients' attempt to have a baby through IVF," the university said in a statement. "But we must evaluate the potential that our patients and our physicians coul...

Washington (AFP) - La Cour suprême de l'Alabama considère les embryons conservés par congélation comme des "enfants", une décision vivement critiquée mardi par le milieu médical américain et la Maison Blanche. Cette décision de justice, rendue vendredi, pourrait avoir des "conséquences dévastatrices" pour les procédures de fécondation in vitro dans cet Etat du sud des Etats-Unis, selon Resolve, la principale association américaine consacrée à l'infertilité. "A travers le pays, les femmes en viennent à subir les conséquences dévastatrices des actions des élus républicains", a dénoncé mardi la p...
