A coalition of Democratic lawmakers, including Senators Tammy Duckworth, Patty Murray, Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Chuck Schumer, John Hickenlooper, and Representative Lori Trahan, is advocating for comprehensive reproductive health rights in the United States. They have introduced the Right to IVF Act, aimed at establishing a nationwide right to access in vitro fertilization (IVF) and making it more affordable for families. This legislative push comes amid increasing restrictions on reproductive health care, including abortion bans imposed by Republican lawmakers. The Biden-Harris Administration has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting reproductive health care access. The debate over reproductive rights has intensified following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, leading to significant impacts on women's health care across the country.
Extreme MAGA Republicans want to ban birth control. And criminalize abortion care. We will stop them.
Ahead of today’s Senate HELP committee’s hearing on abortion bans, here are a few findings that illustrate the effect these bans have had across the U.S. ⤵️ https://t.co/eMnOpEh6Qh
Our veterans — and all Americans — should have full access to the fertility treatments they need to start a family, including IVF. It’s shameful that far-right extremists are playing politics and attempting to block America’s heroes from accessing IVF. https://t.co/NN69Geb24g
The minute Roe was overturned, red states jumped at the chance to restrict reproductive health care. Today, millions of women have suffered, unable to access the health care they need. Tune in to our Senate hearing at 10am ET/8am MT TOMORROW as we look at health care post-Roe. https://t.co/MF0R139LQ5
Two years ago this month, the MAGA Supreme Court overturned Roe There’s no question who brought about this crisis: Trump and hard-right Republicans who've made it clear they won’t rest until freedom of choice is eliminated Democrats won't stop fighting for reproductive rights
MAGA extremists are coming for the IVF care many Americans rely on to start a family. This Infertility Awareness Month, let’s come together to ensure Americans have access to the reproductive healthcare they need .
The attacks on reproductive health started with abortion – but they’ve already made their way to IVF, contraception, and more. We need to go on the offensive on all these fronts, which is why I support legislation to protect access to IVF & birth control.
Extreme House Republicans are trying to ban veterans experiencing difficulty getting pregnant from accessing IVF and other treatments. This would be devastating for our veterans. My statement with fellow @HouseDemocrats who turned to treatment for our own fertility issues.⤵️ https://t.co/IMEApelMn5
I was honored to join reproductive health leaders to affirm the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to protecting abortion & reproductive health care access. Thank you all for your dedication and commitment to protecting a woman's right to access the care she needs! https://t.co/yyQLxqHVeF
I'm proud to join @SenDuckworth and @PattyMurray in unveiling the Right to IVF Act, legislation that will protect the right to access IVF and lower costs for families across America. Everyone deserves the freedom to build a family. https://t.co/quBwgDRBEB
🚨NEWS: Today—alongside @PattyMurray and @SenBooker—I'm unveiling a sweeping legislative package that would establish a nationwide right to receive or provide IVF, while making costs more affordable for those who rely on IVF to build their family. https://t.co/sGKJJ6V4VP
Right wing politicians and judges will never give up their draconian efforts to control a woman’s body – even if it puts women’s lives at risk. It’s why we must restore abortion rights nationwide. https://t.co/pIBBmUhCAZ
Because of Republican abortion bans: Women are being denied life-saving abortion care. Doctors are being threatened with jail time for doing their jobs. Our health care system is in crisis. Families are suffering. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Women deserve to make their own reproductive health decisions without interference from extreme MAGA Republicans. We need to certify the Equal Rights Amendment so women's reproductive freedoms are protected no matter what. https://t.co/eBb7OqflWX
