You may recall that Trump said during his debate with VP Harris that he would be a champion for IVF. He said he would not only protect I F but require insurance companies to cover the cost.
He forgot to tell his Senate allies.
They voted down a bill to protect IVF.
The vote on Tuesday was 51 in favor and 44 opposed, with Republicans Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine joining with Democrats in support. Sen. JD Vance didn’t vote. Without 60 votes to break a filibuster, the bill was dead.
IVF is In Vitro Fertilization, which enables many families to have children. It’s miraculous and there’s no reason to ban it.
Robert Reich tweeted a list of some of the GOP senators who voted NO:
All nine Republican senators running for reelection just voted against the Right to IVF Act:
John Barrasso
Marsha Blackburn
Kevin Cramer
Ted Cruz
Deb Fischer
Josh Hawley
Pete Ricketts
Rick Scott
Roger Wicker
(JD Vance missed today’s vote)
So much for the party of “freedom.”
