“I was proud to join my colleague from Texas in introducing the IVF Protection Act. I am grateful for his leadership on this important topic. As a mom, I know firsthand that there is no greater joy in this life than that of being a mother. IVF helps aspiring parents across our Nation experience the miracle of life and start and grow a family. That is why I strongly support continued nationwide IVF access. IVF access is fundamentally pro-family. For the millions of Americans who face infertility every year, IVF provides the hope of a pathway to parenthood. We all have loved ones, whether they are family members or friends, who have become parents or grandparents through IVF. Across America, about 2 percent of babies born are born because of IVF; that is about 200 babies per day. So think about the magnitude of that number and the faces and the stories and the dreams it represents. In recent decades, millions of people have been born with the help of IVF. Along with my colleague Senator Cruz, I was honored to lead Senate Republican colleagues in a joint statement emphasizing our shared support in continued nationwide access to IVF. IVF is legal and available in every single State across America. That includes my home State, where Governor Ivey and the Alabama Legislature acted quickly and overwhelmingly earlier this year to protect IVF access for our State's families.…”
