On the recordMarch 7, 2024
Mr. Speaker, as someone who started my family with IVF, I understand how critical it is to so many families that want to have children. I believe all life is precious. Like many Americans, I am pro-life with exceptions for rape, incest, and the health and life of the mother. For years, political opponents have misrepresented my view, but families in my district know where I stand. Nothing is more pro-life than helping families have children, and I do not support Federal restrictions on IVF. A recent court ruling prompted confusion about whether the Life At Conception Act bans IVF. I am removing myself from the bill because it could create confusion about my support for the blessings of having children through IVF. ____________________
