Today, Indivisible’s Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director Leah Greenberg, released the following statement in response to Senate Republicans voting down the Right to IVF Act, a bill that would protect access to IVF:
"Senator Schumer put Republicans to the test, and they failed. Trump and the GOP have been scrambling to hide their unpopular, outdated views on reproductive rights, but they’re not fooling anybody.
“Today, every single Republican Senator had a clear chance to protect IVF, something they claim to support, but nearly every single one of them refused. There’s no reason to believe their words when we can see their actions.
"When Republicans send mixed messages on TV and online, look at their voting records. They've consistently voted against protecting personal freedoms—from access to abortion and contraceptives to IVF. For decades, they've chipped away at reproductive rights, and it's only gotten worse since Trump entered politics.
"As attacks on reproductive rights intensify, including MAGA efforts against contraception, we can't let our guard down. Indivisible proudly supports Senator Schumer and Democrats for not only standing up for these fundamental rights, but continuously calling out their Republican colleagues’ blatant lies.
"Millions rely on contraception and IVF to build their families and lives, including Governor Walz who has shared his family's struggles with fertility. These rights are fundamental and widely supported, and Republicans are straight up trying to take them away. It is not only weird – it’s dangerous.
"We commend Senate Democrats for taking decisive and strategic action by bringing this bill for a vote. Between now and November, we’ll make sure every single voter sees through Republican bullshit and knows they voted against IVF protections today.”
