Mr. President, this amendment would protect the right to IVF and other fertility care, and it would require insurance to cover IVF. I know my Republican colleagues will claim President Trump has already solved this problem, but don't be fooled. Donald Trump's recent toothless, overly-vague Executive order does nothing to expand access to IVF. It was just lipservice from a known liar. In fact, it is because of President Trump and Senate Republicans that Roe v. Wade was overturned, causing IVF to be at risk in the first place. If President Trump is supposedly so committed to making government more efficient, he could stop wasting time and resources on more bureaucracy. The solution to this is simple and all laid out in the Right to IVF Act. If Senate Republicans want to put their votes where their mouths are, they must vote for this amendment that would provide hope for millions of Americans whose most desperate hope in the world is to have a family of their own. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Alabama.
