Lawmakers across the United States, including Representatives Josh G, Cortez Masto, Pettersen, Bill Foster, and others, are raising concerns over attempts by far-right extremists to restrict access to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments, specifically criticizing efforts in Alabama and the all-Republican Alabama Supreme Court. They emphasize the importance of IVF in family building and argue that decisions regarding IVF should be between patients and their doctors, not influenced by political agendas. The pushback includes calls for critical legislation to protect IVF access nationwide, with many lawmakers standing with the Democratic Women's Caucus (@DemWomenCaucus) to advocate for reproductive rights and oppose what they describe as a war on women's healthcare.
IVF is important, time-sensitive health care. Decisions about IVF and reproductive care should be between patients and their doctors —not Republican elected officials. We must keep fighting so that everyone can choose if, when and how to grow their family —including via IVF.
Women in America: Wake up. Far-right extremists are coming for your freedom and your choice. IVF gave me my family — I won't let anyone take that opportunity away from others. https://t.co/A8WaMjzYrR
IVF is important, time-sensitive health care. Decisions about IVF should be between patients and their doctors—not the all-Republican Alabama Supreme Court. We must protect all reproductive health care—from abortion care, to birth control, to IVF. https://t.co/8BfctmMHjC
My family knows all too well that IVF is important, time-sensitive healthcare. IVF decisions should be between patients and doctors—not the all-Republican Alabama Supreme Court. We must keep fighting so everyone can choose if, when, and how to grow their family—including via IVF. https://t.co/JdW8gXCdTZ
First, far-right extremists went after abortion care. Now, they are attacking IVF. This is a war on women's health and I refuse to be silent. Proud to join with @DemWomenCaucus and my colleagues today fighting to protect IVF care for women nationwide. https://t.co/4mbOHnOrZN
Decisions about IVF should be between patients and their doctors—not the Alabama Supreme Court. Today, I stood with the @DemWomenCaucus to urge House Republicans to vote on critical legislation to protect IVF. https://t.co/uu3yPi1lBX
The right-wing extremist attack on IVF is not limited to Alabama. Currently, most House Republicans are sponsoring a bill that would effectively ban IVF nationwide. Today I stood alongside @RepSusanWild & my colleagues on the @DemWomenCaucus to stand up for reproductive rights. https://t.co/bPxpmNpg28
Women all over America have grown their families through IVF. But the far-right's attacks on women's freedom puts access to IVF at risk, just as we're seeing in Alabama. That's why I'm fighting for legislation to protect IVF access nationwide. https://t.co/ihSGQQB0VC
I never imagined that states would attempt to ban IVF – a medical procedure that allows hundreds of thousands of moms & dads to build a family every year. I won’t be silent while far-right extremists conduct a war on women’s healthcare. Read about my new action to protect IVF⬇️ https://t.co/bbpMoEtOGq
