Casey: “American women know that actions speak louder than words and when given the opportunity to protect IVF, Senate Republicans have once again failed them.”
Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) released the following statement on the failed Senate vote on the Right to IVF Act. Following the U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, an Alabama Supreme Court ruling jeopardized access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other fertility treatments for millions of women and families. The Right to IVF Act would protect and guarantee the right for people to access IVF and fertility services nationwide, enhance fertility treatment options for veterans and servicemembers, and require insurance plans to cover infertility treatments.
“The fall of Roe v. Wade not only ripped away abortion access for millions of women, but it also put fertility treatments in jeopardy for Americans desperately trying to start a family. This bill would guarantee that women’s access to IVF cannot be upended at the whims of extreme politicians. American women know that actions speak louder than words and when given the opportunity to protect IVF, Senate Republicans have once again failed them.”
