Gov. Kathy Hochul wants New York state to become a safe haven for patients seeking fertility treatment.

“To be able to bring their embryos to the state of New York or have in vitro fertilization in the state of new York that they will still be protected,” Hochul said.

Speaking with NY1, Hochul said she’s exploring whether the shield laws enacted in New York after the end of Roe v. Wade will also protect fertility patients.

“If there’s any changes in the law that need to happen, I will make sure that happens,” she said.

The political fallout continued across the country Friday after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled frozen embryos are children and protected under the state’s wrongful death of a minor act.

Several IVF providers in Alabama have since paused their services — leaving local patients scrambling and scared.

“All we want is to just have the American dream and have a family and I never thought this would be something that would be seen as immoral,” said Gabrielle Goidel, an IVF patient.

Both Republican presidential contenders weighed in on the Alabama ruling.

Agreeing with the decision, Nikki Haley said she believes embryos created through IVF treatment are babies.

“That’s why parents need to be able to have the decision on how they are going to handle those embryos. And they need to know that they are going to be protected,” she said..

On the campaign trail in South Carolina Friday afternoon, former President Donald Trump said he believes IVF treatments should be available across the country.

“And today I’m calling on the Alabama Legislature to act quickly to find a solution to preserve the availability of IVF in Alabama,” he said.

Meanwhile, the White House said the Alabama court ruling could have broader implications.

“This is the chaos that has come out of the Dobbs’ decision. This is the chaos that has come out of, of getting rid of Roe, which was the law of the land for almost 50 years,” said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
