So it is my understanding, as the 2 of us came together, 49 Republicans-strong, sent a letter--a statement saying we strongly support IVF. Now, if the Democrats were serious about needing to protect IVF--which, by the way, is legal and accessible in every State--then wouldn't they have come to us to figure out a pathway forward? Yet, today, instead of taking our bill and, if they feel like it needs to be improved, working to do that, they are choosing to do a show vote just to give themselves something to campaign on. Has anyone approached you about working together to find a pathway forward for IVF? Because I am a strong supporter of IVF. I am proudly here pro-family and believe that we need to find ways to make sure that people do have access and that it continues that way, and I think we have been very clear. But no one has approached me. And you have to get to 60. So if you really believe that IVF is in trouble and in jeopardy, then wouldn't we be the first two people you would come talk to? And no one has talked to me. Yet this bill is going on the floor, which means they know they can't get to 60. There are only 51 of them. Maybe they have a few more. My question is, has anyone approached you?…
