Some Alabama lawmakers from both sides of the aisle scrambling to protect IVF treatments. Those treatments now pause at nearly half of the state's fertility clinics after a bombshell state Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are children. The issue now front and center on the campaign trail with politicians trying to clarify where they stand. Here's ABC's Zorin Shah.

Tonight, Alabama lawmakers on both sides of the aisle now scrambling to pass legislation that would protect access to IVF treatments. House Minority Leader Anthony Daniels, a Democrat, filing a bill just days ago after his state's Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are children, triggering half of Alabama's fertility clinics to halt the procedure.

We have to do something about this immediately, and I hope that the Republicans will work with me.

Republican Senator Tim Nelson already pushing a new measure that says embryos are not viable until they're implanted in the uterus.

Until it's implanted in the uterus, there's potential life in that people shouldn't to be criminalized or be held harmful for things that happen. They should be held harmless.

Now, Republican presidential candidates seeking to clarify their positions.

I didn't say that I agreed with the Alabama ruling. The question that I was asked is, Do I believe an embryo is a baby? I do think that if you look in the definition, an embryo is considered an unborn baby.

We want to make it easier for mothers and fathers to have babies, not harder.

But Trump's team not making it clear where he stands. Does he think an embryo is a child? I will not get ahead of the President on that either. I'll let him speak on that specific moral issue. The White House blasting Trump, saying he is responsible for the court's ruling. Back in Alabama, Hillary Hogle warns that the decision has real consequences. She's now expecting a baby girl through IVF.

If this thing would have happened nine months ago, we wouldn't to be pregnant.

And women across the country who want to be pregnant could also have reason to be concerned. Twelve states introduced what they are calling fetal personhood bills that could have similar implications if passed.

Which? Zorin Shah reporting for us tonight. Thank you.
