A group of Senate Democrats is announcing a legislative package to protect in vitro fertilization (IVF) and ensure reproductive rights are safeguarded. This initiative comes amid increasing efforts by right-wing politicians and judges to restrict women's healthcare, including abortion rights. The legislative package, unveiled by Senators Mazie Hirono, Tammy Duckworth, and Cory Booker, aims to establish a nationwide right to receive or provide IVF and make the costs more affordable for families. The push to protect IVF is part of a broader effort to place reproductive rights at the forefront of the election-year agenda. Lawmakers emphasize the need to restore abortion rights nationwide and certify the Equal Rights Amendment to protect women's reproductive freedoms. Additionally, Senators Markey and Patty Murray are advocating for the right to access birth control.

🚨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
Proud to join @MazieHirono, @SenDuckworth, and @SenMarkey on the push to cement the right to access birth control. đź’Ż https://t.co/kGRVmq9SyB
I’ll always fight tooth and nail to ensure that every woman has the freedom to make her own reproductive choices.

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
IVF has helped hundreds of thousands of moms & dads build a family. I won’t be silent while far-right extremists conduct a war on women’s healthcare. https://t.co/7VzN5SMrMq
