Senate Republicans blocked legislation to codify the right to in vitro fertilization, indicating a lack of support for expanded reproductive rights amid changing political landscapes.
The IVF bill failed to garner the necessary 60 votes for cloture, with 51 in favor and 44 against. The latter were all Republicans, evidencing their unified opposition.
Republicans, while declaring support for IVF conceptually, criticized the timing and intent of the vote, labeling it as a political maneuver rather than a genuine legislative effort.
Senate Minority Whip John Thune described the move by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to bring the bill to vote as a show vote, suggesting an ulterior motive by Democrats.
