Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) plans to force Senate Republicans to vote again on a bill they blocked in June to protect women’s access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments, something that’s become a hot topic in the 2024 election.
“The Senate will vote once again to take up the very same bill we voted on earlier this summer, establishing a nationwide right to IVF and making it easier for people to access this critical treatment,” Schumer announced on the Senate floor.
“Republicans can’t claim to be profamily on one hand, only to block profamily policies like federal protections for IVF and the child tax credit. But that’s what they did this summer, and I hope we get a different outcome when we vote for a second time.”
Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) were the only Republicans to vote to advance the bill when Schumer brought it to the floor in June.
