Senate Republicans blocked the Right to IVF Act, a bill championed by Sen. Tammy Duckworth to establish a nationwide right for women to access IVF and other fertility treatments, with the vote highlighting political differences on reproductive care ahead of the upcoming election.
Senate Republicans blocked a bill that would have established a nationwide right for women to access in vitro fertilization and other fertility treatments. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called for the vote on Thursday, aiming to highlight differences on reproductive care as the election approaches.The bill, known as the Right to IVF Act, was championed by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, a military veteran who used IVF to conceive her two children.
Schumer aims to protect a narrow Senate majority and boost Democrats' chances of holding the White House by spotlighting Republican resistance to federal reproductive rights legislation. Democrats have heavily campaigned on this issue since the 2022 Supreme Court decision that ended federal abortion rights."The anti-abortion movement is not yet finished.
