House Republicans are facing internal strife as GOP Congressman Rosendale's anti-IVF stance divides the party. Colleagues criticize his efforts as 'gross' and 'moronic.' Some Republicans, like Mace and Perry, are introducing pro-IVF legislation to counter allegations of GOP opposition to IVF. The division within the GOP is evident, with some supporting IVF, others claiming support while backing restrictive legislation, and some outright opposing IVF. The Life at Conception Act, cosponsored by 131 Republicans, is at the center of the debate, with proponents arguing that supporting fetal personhood is incompatible with supporting IVF.
Rosendale’s attacks on IVF are disgusting, and he’s not alone. 131 Republicans signed on to a bill to ban IVF and abortion with no exceptions. He should be ashamed to be so loud and so wrong about reproductive care and people growing their families. https://t.co/kcVi8krEze
GOP divisions over IVF persist—and break down roughly into three categories: 1. Those who support IVF (e.g. Lisa Murkowski) 2. Those who say they support IVF but back legislation that'd threaten it (Mike Johnson) 3. Those who oppose IVF and want to restrict it (Matt Rosendale) https://t.co/OtGTmoUxyp
It's not just Rep. Rosendale who believes this—it's all 131 Republicans who cosponsor the Life at Conception Act. Because the truth is, you fundamentally cannot support fetal personhood AND IVF. You just can't. https://t.co/P8n5JrqUuh
First abortion, then contraception and now IVF. Republicans’ extremism is on full display in the U.S. House. https://t.co/ZtlmqXrgh8

Rosendale's GOP colleagues blasting his anti-IVF crusade as "gross," "moronic" and "f**king stupid." Mace says she and Rep. Scott Perry are introducing pro-IVF legislation to try to parry Democrats' allegations about the party opposing IVF. @Axios https://t.co/Qub1o8QPTr
