“After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, we knew extreme MAGA Republicans wouldn't stop with attacking abortion rights. We knew they would come for birth control. I introduced the Right to Contraception Act to codify the right to use all forms of FDA-approved birth control. We also knew they would come for IVF. Last week, the Alabama Supreme Court decided frozen embryos are children, forcing clinics in Alabama to stop IVF treatments. Republicans are now scrambling to claim they support contraception and IVF. Actions speak louder than words. Mr. Speaker, 195 House Republicans voted against my bill to protect the right to contraception, and over 120 Republicans cosponsored the Life at Conception Act, a bill that uses the same reasoning as the Alabama court, that includes no protection for IVF or birth control, and would decimate IVF and abortion access nationwide. Earlier today, Senate Republicans blocked a bill to protect the right to access IVF. They don't care about protecting reproductive rights, they care about controlling women's bodies. ____________________”
