Senate to Vote on IVF Access Legislation
News summary

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to force another vote on a bill to protect access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments, bringing the issue back to the forefront after Republicans blocked it in June. The bill, introduced by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, aims to establish a statutory right to IVF, mandate insurance coverage, and authorize the Department of Justice to protect these rights through civil lawsuits. The move follows former President Donald Trump's recent endorsement of universal IVF coverage, positioning himself as a leader on the issue. However, Senate Republicans remain divided, with only Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins having supported the bill previously. Schumer's strategy is seen as an attempt to highlight reproductive health care issues ahead of the 2024 elections and pressure Republicans to clarify their stance. Despite Schumer's efforts, the bill faces steep odds of passing in the Senate.
