‘It’s gonna be OK’: Tommy Tuberville adds to confusion on IVF in latest muddled interview
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) said Tuesday that he opposes the Alabama Supreme Court's decision that embryos are children — after initially supporting it.
ABC's Rachel Scott caught up with Tuberville outside the Capitol.
"You've been back and forth on this issue," Scott noted. "Do you support the Supreme Court's decision?"
"I support that people that want to have IVF, I'll support them 100 percent," Tuberville insisted.
"Okay, but that's not what the Supreme Court's decision is allowing at this point," the ABC reporter observed.
"I know, but the state's getting ready to pass a law in Alabama that it's gonna be okay," the senator replied. "When we're going to pass it, that it's going to be positive."

Scott pointed out that some women were still not able to receive their IVF treatments.
"I just came back from Alabama," Scott explained. "I talked to one woman. She's on her last embryo transfer. It was scheduled for tomorrow. And now she has to start all over. Is that acceptable to you?"
"Well, not really," Tuberville admitted. "Now, I want everybody, if they want kids, if they can't have it, and that's the only way they can have it, I won't be able to use that."
"So, to be clear, you believe it's the wrong move?" Scott asked.
"Wrong move by the Supreme Court, yes," the senator agreed.
But just days earlier, Tuberville approved of the IVF decision.
"Yeah, I was all for it," Tuberville said to reporters at the Conservative Political Action Conference.Watch the video below.
