U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz accused the Democrats of staging an 'show vote' on IVF protections for campaign reasons.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday led the effort to block a bill by Senate Democrats that they said would protect in-vitro fertilization in America. But on the Senate floor, Cruz blasted the Democratic bill as a cynical show vote, saying it was less about protecting IVF treatments than creating political fodder for TV commercials ahead of the November election. “Today, unfortunately, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are staging an empty show vote,” he said.
Houston fertility clinic knowingly gave damaged embryos to patients, lawsuit alleges Cruz is facing a challenge from Democrat Colin Allred, a Dallas-area congressman who is campaigning heavily on protecting abortion rights. The debate over IVF has grown after Roe v Wade was overturned in 2022 amid concerns that abortion bans could threaten the procedure. The bill up for debate Tuesday would mandate insurance providers cover IVF treatments, among other things.

Katie Britt, a Republican, have a more serious bill that would have punished any state that tried to bar IVF treatments. But when Cruz tried to bring that vote up for a vote, Democrats, who control the majority in the Senate, blocked it.
