Republican senators Ted Cruz and Katie Britt are pushing for the IVF Protection Act to safeguard access to in vitro fertilization treatments across the U.S. The bill aims to prevent states from banning IVF by linking their Medicaid funding eligibility to such prohibitions. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey previously signed a bill to protect IVF in the state, prompting the senators to advocate for federal legislation. Cruz and Britt emphasize the importance of protecting both life and IVF treatments, citing the procedure as crucial for many families. They refute claims by Democrats and the media that Republicans intend to ban IVF, asserting that their bill aims to ensure federal protection for IVF, a medical advancement that aids couples in having children. The legislation seeks to codify IVF as a federally protected procedure, highlighting its significance for American families and positioning it as a priority for the Republican party.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed a bill in March to protect the legality of IVF in the state, and the two senators want to make such protections a matter of federal law. https://t.co/y51lg2tvDA
