The Right to Try IVF Act of 2024 would penalize states that ban in vitro fertilization (IVF) for people with medical conditions that make natural conception difficult. Specifically, the bill would make states ineligible to receive federal funding through the State Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant program if they prohibit licensed physicians from performing IVF for patients who have a documented medical diagnosis of difficulty conceiving. The legislation applies only to cases where a licensed physician has diagnosed a medical hardship related to conception. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines, but would leverage existing federal health block grant funding as an enforcement mechanism to influence state reproductive healthcare policies.
