Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) challenged Democrats’ assertions that Republicans are trying to ban in vitro fertilization. He stated that the IVF Protection Act, which he and Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) introduced, aims to provide federal protection for IVF services, emphasizing that all 100 senators strongly support IVF. Cruz accused Democrats of spreading false claims to divert attention from their stance on abortion, criticizing their support for late-term partial birth abortion. He argued that Democrats are misleading the public about Republicans’ views on IVF to conceal their extreme abortion position. Cruz and Britt expressed hope for bipartisan cooperation on the bill and emphasized the importance of protecting IVF as a tool for bringing life into the world.
