Senate Republicans blocked a bill that would have ensured nationwide access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. Despite some Republicans, including Sen. Rick Scott, voicing support for IVF, they voted against the legislation. Both Senators Romney and Lee voted no. Democrats criticized the GOP for their stance, emphasizing the importance of protecting reproductive health care. Sen. Amy Klobuchar and other Democrats pledged to continue fighting for IVF access. The blocked bill has sparked significant debate, with accusations of political maneuvering and conflicting statements about support for IVF. HouseDemocrats also stood against the GOP's actions.

I’ve heard Republicans say again & again that they support Americans’ right to IVF but this week’s vote proved otherwise. We had a simple, commonsense bill to protect this right & Republicans voted to block it. I’ll keep fighting to protect IVF. https://t.co/5rIbhZdiTY
This week, a majority of the Senate GOP voted against protecting IVF - stopping a bill that would have given peace of mind to millions of families around our country. Don't forget: The GOP is coming for *all* reproductive healthcare and our right to make our own choices.
The GOP's refusal to guarantee nationwide access to IVF is disappointing and just another unnecessary attack on reproductive rights. https://t.co/S5995hZkMR
Struggling with infertility is painful enough. Facing the threat of criminal charges for trying to start a family? It may be okay with Senate Republicans, but it’s just not right. Democrats are working to protect Americans’ access to IVF.
I’m bewildered why so many continue to attack IVF, which has brought the gift of life to more than one million families across America. I will always fight for women’s access to IVF and their right to build healthy, loving families. https://t.co/GjFVAyvSxr

The right to have children — and the right to choose when and how to have them — must be protected. I was proud to join my colleagues, led by @RepSusanWild, in fighting to protect IVF services. This should not be politicized but continues to be. I will always fight for choice. https://t.co/mbm11icciR

If Republicans actually supported IVF, they would've voted with @SenateDems yesterday to protect it from extremists' attacks. But they didn't. My great niece wouldn't be part of our family without IVF. This is personal, and I won't stop fighting to defend our freedoms. https://t.co/z8kHf0fUaN

90% of Americans support birth control access for all. Yet @HouseRepubs continue attacking reproductive rights. Congress must protect basic freedoms. I'm proud to cosponsor the Right to Contraception Act & join @DemWomenCaucus to demand Speaker Johnson bring this bill to a vote.
This grandpa voted against the IVF bill in the Senate literally yesterday. https://t.co/4xMFW4VB3J
Don’t listen to what they say. Watch what they do. Despite telling Americans they support access to IVF, Republicans have again blocked a bill to protect access to IVF nationwide. Democrats won’t stop fighting to protect women’s access to comprehensive reproductive health care
Every time Republicans have had the chance to vote to uphold IVF access, they've voted no. They'll stop at nothing to control women's reproductive care. Yesterday, I stood with my fellow @HouseDemocrats to send a clear message: The House must vote to protect access to IVF NOW. https://t.co/NyhBxzRqCb

Yesterday democrats blocked a bill that would guarantee rights to IVF. Today, they introduced their own bill that had a ton of other stuff jammed into it, and when the GOP blocked it, they claimed the GOP was against IVF. If the media wasn’t biased, they’d call out this…
