In response to JD Vance skipping today\u2019s Senate vote to protect access to IVF, <\/em>DNC Spokesperson Aida Ross released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJD Vance celebrated when Donald Trump \u2018proudly\u2019 overturned Roe v. Wade<\/em> and paved the way for threats to IVF access for Americans who want to start or grow their family. Today, Vance couldn\u2019t be bothered to show up to vote on protecting IVF access, after voting against the same protections in June. Vance is showing us who he is and we should believe him. The American people will remember that Vance didn\u2019t show up for them, and they\u2019ll make that clear when they reject the Trump-Vance ticket\u2019s anti-choice Project 2025 agenda in November.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW: JD Vance skipped today\u2019s vote on legislation to enshrine access to IVF for all Americans.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Independent<\/a>: \u201cJD Vance didn\u2019t even show up to vote on [IVF protections].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jennifer Bendery, Huffington Post<\/a>: \u201cVance won\u2019t be at today\u2019s Senate vote\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REMINDER: Donald Trump\u2019s MAGA minions in the Senate already blocked legislation to protect IVF access TWICE.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associated Press<\/a>: \u201cRepublicans block Senate bill to protect nationwide access to IVF treatments\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cRepublicans block bill to protect access to IVF\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSenate Republicans blocked an effort Wednesday to pass legislation that would federally protect access to in vitro fertilization (IVF).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cSenate Republicans block legislation to codify IVF access\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans who voted against include: JD Vance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanity Fair<\/a>: \u201cOn Wednesday, Senate Republicans are expected to object to Tammy Duckworth\u2019s Right to Build Families Act, because, surprise: They don\u2019t actually care about families and aren\u2019t \u2018pro-life.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018It\u2019s idiotic for us to take the bait,\u2019<\/strong> Senator JD Vance told Politico, as though the measure were some kind of political trap. (He also noted that he had not actually read the bill yet.)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance celebrated when Trump \u201cproudly\u201d overturned <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong>, paving the way for the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that stopped IVF treatments in the state. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance<\/a>: \u201cI think that what I really think on \u2013 so first of all, the <\/strong>Dobbs<\/em><\/strong> decision, everybody knows, overruled <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 I think that was the right decision.\u201d<\/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

The Trump-Vance Project 2025 agenda would put at risk IVF access for millions of Americans, and Trump has spent years cozying up to his anti-freedom allies who are plotting the best ways for him to restrict it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HuffPost<\/a>: \u201cDonald Trump Has Deep Ties To Anti-IVF Movement\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe current Republican presidential nominee \u2015 who has repeatedly bragged about his role in repealing federal abortion protections \u2015 has deep ties to extreme right-wing organizations that actively oppose IVF.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile in the White House, Trump and his administration praised, appointed and worked with some of the nation\u2019s most extreme thought leaders who believe the IVF process is akin to murder\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring his time as president, Trump appointed several extreme anti-IVF advocates to positions of power.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media Matters<\/a>: \u201cThe Heritage Foundation quietly released draconian new IVF policy recommendations for the next GOP president\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe list of policy suggestions in the recent blog post echoes the MAGA-backed Project 2025, <\/strong>a comprehensive plan Heritage has spearheaded for the next GOP presidential administration that includes calls to eliminate the term \u2018reproductive health\u2019 from federal rules and regulations and to tighten restrictions on abortion rights and access to certain emergency contraceptives. In its pieces on IVF, Heritage expands on the extreme conservative agenda outlined by Project 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHeritage research associate Emma Waters has been a leading voice from the organization on reproductive issues, specifically denouncing IVF procedures and other \u2018reproductive technologies.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany of Waters\u2019 other policy ideas are seemingly benign proposals meant to heighten the barrier of entry to securing IVF procedures<\/strong>, in much the same way anti-abortion lawmakers have used targeted restrictions on abortion providers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REMINDER: Vance\u2019s anti-choice record includes saying that he\u2019d like \u201cabortion to be illegal nationally,\u201d attacking exceptions for rape and incest, and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cJD Vance said in 2022 he \u2018would like abortion to be illegal nationally\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJD Vance said he \u2018certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally\u2019 and was \u2018sympathetic\u2019 to the view that a national ban was necessary to stop women from traveling across states to obtain an abortion.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manu Raju, CNN<\/a>: \u201c<\/strong>J.D. Vance, the Ohio GOP senator, says Republicans need to shift their approach on abortion and begin to embrace federal legislation \u2026 \u2018We can\u2019t give into the idea that the federal Congress has no role in this matter,\u2019 he told us.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsweek<\/a>: \u201cJ.D. Vance Backs \u2018National Standard\u2019 for Abortions\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cOhio Senate candidate J.D. Vance argues against need for rape and incest exceptions in abortion laws\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Beast<\/a>: \u201cJ.D. Vance suggested he would support prohibiting abortion even in cases of rape and incest\u2014and dismissed those catalysts as \u2018inconvenient.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

REALITY CHECK: Attacks on reproductive rights, like Trump and Vance\u2019s anti-choice Project 2025 agenda to block IVF access, are wildly unpopular.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABC News<\/a>: \u201cAmericans continue to support IVF and abortion access\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe vast majority of registered voters, 80 percent, think IVF should be legal.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigator Research<\/a>: \u201cLarge majorities say reproductive care like birth control pills and IVF should be made easier to access, including majorities of Republicans.<\/strong> \u2026 Americans across party lines also say access to fertility planning like IVF should be easier to access, including 72 percent of Democrats, 59 percent of independents, and 53 percent of Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
