Political Quotes

“IVF is legal and accessible in all 50 States. This amendment is nothing more than a Trojan horse. It is far more expansive than they would want you to believe. It actually creates a universal right to ``assisted reproductive technologies,'' allowing future administrations to move this into human cloning and gene-edited designer babies. It also contains no religious freedom protections. Aside from being bad policy, let's take a step back and think about what has occurred. Two days ago, President Trump took the most pro-IVF Executive action ever towards increased treatment, access, and affordability, while President Biden played politics with IVF, hoping it would help that side of the aisle win on November 5. The American people saw through that. All 49 Republicans here in this Chamber at that time said we strongly support nationwide access to IVF. We look forward over the next 90 days to working with President Trump to make sure that we increase access and affordability of treatment. Mr. President, for that reason--today we are here to talk about the border, defense, and energy, and I urge my colleagues to vote this Trojan horse down. Vote on Amendment No. 971 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question now occurs on the adoption of the amendment.”
