The debate over in vitro fertilization (IVF) has sparked bipartisan discussions in Congress. While Democrats advocate for expanding access to IVF, some Republicans have blocked legislation aimed at protecting IVF rights. House Republicans express support for IVF but remain divided on how to safeguard access to this fertility treatment, amidst concerns that anti-abortion measures could impact IVF availability.
Republicans keep saying they want to protect IVF. Those same Republicans keep blocking protections for IVF. We will keep fighting. https://t.co/3zqIgSyjAa
Make no mistake Republican officials will not stop at a nationwide ban on abortion, they are already restricting families' ability to access IVF treatment. The only way this stops is if Democrats are empowered to restore Roe v. Wade's protections. https://t.co/BaHz3ShBjH
Alabama's attack on IVF treatment is the latest in a never-ending assault on women's rights. Today, I stood with local advocates to reiterate our commitment to protecting women's health freedom. https://t.co/FyKt39wrjQ
Access to IVF is under attack across the country. My opponent, @MarkRobinsonNC, refuses to answer whether or not he supports IVF. So I want to be clear: I support IVF and will fight to make sure that it's protected here in North Carolina. Full stop.
Overturning Roe v. Wade requires pro-life Republicans to specify exactly what that means. Read more from @laureldugg on the GOP’s search for abortion consensus 👇https://t.co/VzQwcg9lbj
Protecting women & families who choose IVF is just common sense. That's why I'm cosponsoring a bill to establish a legal right to IVF. https://t.co/64i72yBlEX
House Republicans are prepping an anti-abortion message. But will it resonate when polling shows the electorate largely favors increased access to abortion? @MicaSoellnerDC & @maxpcohen with more from the House GOP retreat: https://t.co/475p6Xjqat
House Republicans keep saying that they’re pro-IVF yet pro-Dobbs. If Speaker Johnson and the House GOP were truly pro-IVF, they would support federally protecting IVF and vote for @RepSusanWild’s Access to Family Building Act. https://t.co/T3ivh0psdH

In the face of the GOP’s cruel crusade to ban abortion nationwide, I refuse to stand by as they work day and night to control women and their right to choose. I will never rest in our fight to ensure each woman in this country can reach the health care she needs. https://t.co/fpkMHEomVV
At their annual policy retreat, House Republicans said they emphatically support IVF. But they remain divided on how to protect access to the treatment that has helped millions of families have children. https://t.co/SusCpVJvnt
Republicans say they want to protect IVF—but they refuse to do anything to protect IVF. Speaker Johnson says he’s against ANY action in Congress to protect IVF. https://t.co/uVcihEGAo2
Republicans are talking out of both sides of their mouths on IVF. They say they're for IVF, but for the second week in a row, Republicans blocked passage of legislation to protect women's access to fertility treatments. https://t.co/gRml91gvE8
Iowa Republicans have blocked a bill from advancing in the Legislature that would have made it a felony offense to “cause the death” of an “unborn person” — language that prompted concerns that the measure would criminalize IVF. https://t.co/Ptsp3HFJjp
As antiabortion groups are pressuring Hill Republicans to codify the issue & IVF, NRCC Chair Rep. Hudson is encouraging GOP candidates to talk about “what you actually believe, and you ought to do it with empathy" https://t.co/xfexJVLjOo
Women are fed up with politicians trying to dictate their health care decisions. Everyone deserves access to reproductive care, including IVF. Grateful for @NCAGO Stein, @PPSouthAtlantic, our brave health care providers, & IVF patients for joining me today to call for action. https://t.co/7TJODkAecL
BREAKING: Congresswoman Luna Introduces legislation in support of IVF, the “Right to Try IVF Act of 2024”. https://t.co/8ciNyFd3ph
Mike Johnson says he opposes federal protections for IVF https://t.co/iDucvggMlS
Translation: Speaker Johnson and House Republicans do not support legislation to protect access to IVF and will not pass any. Their refusal to act speaks volumes. https://t.co/kzp4x4bVqg
Roe v. Wade, IVF, what’s next — birth control? The extreme right-wing’s agenda to wipe out reproductive health care isn’t about protecting life, it’s about controlling women’s bodies. I will never stop fighting to protect women’s freedom.
Newsy: Speaker Mike Johnson says at GOP retreat he does not think Congress has a role to play when it comes to IVF, as some members have been pushing for in wake of Alabama ruling. But says all Republicans support access to IVF.
In a bipartisan move, Democrats' efforts to establish federal safeguards for in vitro fertilization (IVF) services have garnered support from the Republican camp. https://t.co/FZL61y3YCT https://t.co/KGEadxuDVb
In another example of MAGA Republicans’ extreme agenda against women, @SenateGOP BLOCKED key legislation that would expand essential access to IVF for veterans. I assure you that Democrats will continue fighting for #ReproductiveFreedom for all Americans – and that includes… https://t.co/PgukvJV4u0
I represent Virginia families who have used IVF — and the idea that any judge or lawmaker would try to restrict access to this life-changing tool is reprehensible. Congress must take action to preserve a woman's right to make her own healthcare and family planning decisions. https://t.co/DBB7dJnI2a
