>Senate conservatives are signaling they’ll block Wednesday’s planned Democratic bid to enshrine protections for in-vitro fertilization into federal law.
Please do. It’ll be plastered in every democratic political ad in 2024.
These guys really hate women.
> “It’s idiotic for us to take the bait,” said Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), who clarified he was referring not to Duckworth’s bill on its face but to Democrats’ attempts to use the proposal as an IVF messaging tool.
You’re taking the bait on messaging by not supporting this.
If Democrats don’t plaster this all over the airwaves this fall, they deserve to lose.
It’s just great that they can completely defuse the issue as far as public opinion is concerned by just claiming to be pro-IVF and then blocking any attempt to protect IVF access.
What a bunch of Assholes.
Oh good, I was worried they weren’t going to shoot themselves in the foot even more than they already have over this.
Good. Go ahead and keep pissing women off.
Protecting IVF is the wrong strategy. Go back to Roe v Wade and protect access to ALL medical procedures.
Well, 90% of the nation supports access to IVF and related fertility treatments, so this looks like a perfect issue for Republicans to be on the exact wrong side of. They’re not happy unless only a handful of people support their positions.
This is my shocked face 😐
But it’ll be interesting to see if this hurts them in November. A huge majority of Americans are in favor of IVF and that holds across parties — and according to a poll Kellyanne Conway just released, that includes almost 80% of anti-abortion voters.
I do not think “states’ rights!” is going to be a satisfactory answer.
There’s ‘having a message’
There’s ‘sending a message’
There’s ‘sending mixed messages’
Then….there’s whatever the Republicans are doing.
Not anymore. The Cheeto god said IVF is ok so the AL legislature has already started drafting legislation to make it ok. The AL AG came out and said they “have no intention of prosecuting families or IVF clinics”. The Cheeto has spoken.
You’d think that, after several previous instances, they’d at least have a slightly better understanding of how to deal with catching the proverbial moving car.
Ah yes. The “pro life” party strikes again.
Republicans are the dogs that finally catch the car and don’t know what to do with it. This IVF issue should be blasted out on every Democratic ad campaign about why NOT to vote for Republicans.
Republicans are as stupid as they are greedy and cruel. All those things go hand in hand.
If it’s defeated the Dems need to run full steam with a campaign that the GOP did this.
“If you support IVF – stop voting for the same people over and over again. Vote for someone else. Anyone else.”
Tammy tried to pass it in 2022 before all of this mess. I live in IL. She’s pretty much as straight forward as they come. Both of her daughters were through IVF.
Please introduce a bill guaranteeing access to contraceptives. Let’s see the GOP explain their way out of blocking that one.
“We’re really going to hurt people!” -Republicans
They vote no on everything. Look at Border, no bill has passed in 40 years because they vote no on everything. They literally cannot govern.
“Don’t tell me what to do with my guns!”
“I’m going to tell you exactly what you can do with your body!”
-Both Republicans
>Senate conservatives are signaling they’ll block Wednesday’s planned Democratic bid to enshrine protections for in-vitro fertilization into federal law – and **they’re calling IVF a states-rights issue**.
Remember this when they try to say abortion bans should be federal.
You’re a woman and a Republican? Believe it or not, straight to r/leopardsatemyface
“This is only about abortion. We’re not coming after birth control or IVF.”

So that took what? 18 months?
