In response to House Republicans continuing their two-week vacation while refusing to defend their extreme anti-freedom records, including sponsoring legislation that could rip away access to IVF, <\/em>DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen House Republicans return from their two-week vacation, they\u2019ll have to answer for their unpopular and cruel anti-choice agenda, including extreme legislation that would fully outlaw abortion and threaten IVF. Here\u2019s the truth: House Republicans already backed Donald Trump when he plotted to overturn Roe v. Wade, <\/em>and applauded him when he succeeded \u2013 if given the chance, their record shows they\u2019ll conspire with Trump to take away even more of our freedoms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

125 House Republicans, including Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson, supported the Life at Conception Act, which DOES NOT include any exception for in vitro fertilization \u2013 and could rip away access to IVF treatment from families who desperately want a baby. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Insider<\/a>: \u201cMost House Republicans have cosponsored a bill declaring that life begins from the moment of conception, a position under increased scrutiny after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are \u2018unborn children.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis Congress, 125 House Republicans \u2014 including Speaker Mike Johnson \u2014 have cosponsored the \u2018Life at Conception Act,\u2019<\/strong> which states that the term \u2018human being\u2019 includes \u2018all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization, cloning, or other moment at which an individual member of the human species comes into being.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe bill does not include any exception for in vitro fertilization (IVF), a reproductive treatment that allows mothers to fertilize several eggs outside the womb in order to increase the chances of a viable pregnancy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201cBut with the landmark Roe ruling protecting those rights gone, efforts by conservative lawmakers and judges to advance fetal personhood bills pose a real threat to some fertility treatments, including IVF<\/strong>, reproductive rights advocates say.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAGA Mike Johnson has a yearslong record of advocating against letting women make their own health care decisions. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson<\/a>: \u201c\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8BREAKING: Late yesterday, the La. Department of Health informed abortion facilities in our state that the right to life has now been RESTORED!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perform an abortion and get imprisoned at hard labor for 1-10 yrs & fined $10K-$100K.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jezebel<\/a>: \u201c[Johnson] expressed hope that Roe v. Wade would someday be overturned, railed against people supposedly \u2018using abortion as birth control\u2019 and appeared to blame school shootings on abortion: \u2018When you break up the nuclear family, when you tell a generation of people that life has no value, no meaning, that it\u2019s expendable, then you do wind up with school shooters.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REMINDER: Donald Trump made possible the Alabama Supreme Court decision that is stopping IVF treatment \u2013 and he continues to brag about his role in overturning <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cHow the reversal of Roe v. Wade led to the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are children\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Times<\/a>: \u201c[The Alabama ruling was] made possible by the Supreme Court\u2019s overturning of Roe v. Wade in its 2022 Dobbs decision, which was a result of Mr. Trump\u2019s appointment of three justices.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cFor 54 years they were trying to get Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/a> terminated, and I did it, and I\u2019m proud to have done it. \u2026 Nobody else was going to get that done but me,<\/strong> and we did it, and we did something that was a miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cAfter 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong>, much to the \u2018shock\u2019 of everyone \u2026 Without me there would be no 6 weeks, 10 weeks, 15 weeks, or whatever is finally agreed to.<\/strong> Without me the pro Life movement would have just kept losing. Thank you President TRUMP!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cTrump Claims Credit for All Abortion Bans\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Insider<\/a>: \u201cTrump boasts he’s ‘proud’ about his role in overturning Roe v. Wade, the issue that has become ballot-box poison for Republicans\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cTrump Says He\u2019s \u2018Proud\u2019 to Have \u2018Terminated\u2019 Abortion Rights\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump campaign radio ad<\/a>: “And Trump nominated conservative judges, leading to Roe v. Wade<\/em> being overturned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FWIW<\/a>: \u201cThis week, we found more evidence that the Trump campaign has no interest in \u2018moderating\u2019 on the issue of abortion. On Monday, his team began running new Facebook video ads targeting voters in Iowa, referring to Trump as \u2018THE MOST Pro-Life President in history.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
