The Senate is set to vote Thursday to protect access to IVF, as Democrats make a push around reproductive rights two years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Washington — The Senate is set to vote Thursday afternoon on a legislative package to protect access to IVF , as Democrats make a push around reproductive rights this month — two years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade — despite near-certain opposition from Republicans.The issue came to the national attention after the Alabama Supreme Court earlier this year ruled that embryos are considered children under state law, prompting providers to halt fertility treatments.
But Schumer argues that the votes aren't mere messaging votes. 'Protecting IVF, like protecting contraception, is not a show vote,' Schumer said at a news conference on Wednesday. 'It's a show-us-who-you-are vote.'However, Senate Democrats want to put Republicans on the record over the issues related to reproductive rights issues, which has been a driving force at the polls.
