Sitting behind a table in Alabama, Republican Sen. Katie Britt, 42, delivered the much-anticipated response to President Joe Biden's critical election year State of the Union address on Thursday night.
It was a jarring series of moves from lawmakers in the state and courts that caused three major IVF providers to pause services, after an Alabama Supreme Court ruled last month that three couples who had frozen embryos destroyed in an accident at a storage facility could pursue wrongful death lawsuits for their"extrauterine children," the Associated Press reported. On Wednesday, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed new legislation to protect in vitro fertilization services in the state.
The ongoing crisis with migration at the southern U.S. border was a priority topic for Republicans' response. About eight months before the general election, border security was already pitched as a certainty for a top hot-button issue. Former President Donald Trump and President Biden went on what was called dueling visits to the U.S.-Mexico border.
The message was a stark contrast to President Biden's remarks before Congress on Thursday when he said,"I came to office determined to get us through one of the toughest periods in our nation's history. And we have. It doesn't make the news, but in thousands of cities and towns the American people are writing the greatest comeback story never told. So let's tell that story here and now.
