Alabama
Washington (AFP) - A 50-year-old man was executed by lethal injection Thursday in the southern US state of Alabama for the murders of an elderly couple, prison officials said. Jamie Ray Mills was the sixth Death Row inmate executed in the United States this year. Mills was sentenced to death in 2007 for murdering Floyd Hill, 87, and Vera Hill, 72, during a robbery. They were killed with a machete, tire iron and hammer. His wife, JoAnn Mills, was sentenced to life in prison without parole for her involvement in the 2004 murders and testified against her husband. The Alabama Department of Correc...

Abortion opponents have maneuvered in courthouses for years to end access to reproductive health care. In Arizona last week, a win for the anti-abortion camp caused political blowback for Republican candidates in the state and beyond. The reaction echoed the response to an Alabama Supreme Court decision over in vitro fertilization just two months before. The election-year ruling by the Arizona Supreme Court allowing enforcement of a law from 1864 banning nearly all abortions startled Republican politicians, some of whom quickly turned to social media to denounce it. The court decision was yet ...

With about 2.1 million civilian employees, the federal government is the nation’s largest employer. Now, just as businesses of every stripe prioritize fertility benefits, in vitro fertilization — a procedure in use for m...

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...

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...
