Senate Republicans have again blocked the Right to IVF Act, a bill aimed at expanding access to in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and requiring insurance coverage for fertility treatments, with a vote of 51-44 falling short of the 60 needed to advance. This legislation was introduced by Senator Tammy Duckworth in response to concerns raised after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are considered children, potentially jeopardizing IVF access. Despite former President Donald Trump's recent claims of support for IVF, most Republicans rejected the bill, with only Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins voting in favor. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized Republicans for their hypocrisy, suggesting they want to appear supportive of IVF while actually undermining it. This marks the second time this year the bill has been blocked, reflecting ongoing tensions within the GOP regarding reproductive rights. Advocates warn that the continued failure to protect IVF could have dire consequences for families seeking fertility treatments.
