Senate Republicans Block Right to IVF Act
News summary

Senate Republicans have once again blocked the 'Right to IVF Act', which aimed to ensure national access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and expand insurance coverage for fertility treatments. The bill failed with a vote of 51-44, needing 60 votes to pass, and only two Republicans supported it, highlighting deep partisan divides over reproductive rights. Democrats have framed the issue as vital for families, especially following an Alabama Supreme Court ruling that raised concerns about IVF legality. Despite former President Donald Trump's pledge to mandate insurance coverage for IVF if re-elected, Republicans argue the bill is unnecessary since IVF is already legal in all states. The Democratic strategy appears to target upcoming elections, labeling the GOP as restrictive on reproductive freedoms. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized Republicans for not genuinely supporting IVF amidst their political maneuvering.
