The GOP’s IVF Lie
Republicans’ new bill is all smoke and mirrors
JESSICA VALENTI
MAY 22
It looks like Sen. Katie Britt is doing damage control. Just a few weeks after introducing legislation that would establish a government-run website that would collect data on pregnant women, Britt is pushing new legislation she claims will “protect” IVF. Co-sponsored with Sen. Ted Cruz, Britt says the IVF Protection Act “affirms both life and liberty.”
But here’s the thing: the “IVF Protection Act” doesn’t actually protect IVF. In fact, it allows states to restrict the practice!
Discarding embryos is a normal part of the fertility treatment process—but the anti-abortion movement opposes it. That’s why the bill doesn’t mention it. What the legislation does include, however, is language that protects states’ ability to restrict what happens to frozen embryos:
“Nothing in the IVF Protection Act shall be construed to impede States from implementing health and safety standards regarding the practice of in vitro fertilization.”
What does “health and safety standards” mean? Onerous restrictions on the IVF process that make it difficult, if not impossible, for fertility doctors to operate. (Similar to anti-abortion TRAP laws, Republicans will say these regulations are in women’s best interest.)
Anti-abortion lobbyists want states to impose limits on how many embryos can be created, for example, and dictate how those embryos can be used. And just a few months ago, the anti-choice Charlotte Lozier Institute submitted a public comment to the CDC advising them to report and regulate the embryos used in fertility treatments:
They do not support IVF. And, they just want to lie and cover up for November.
Abortion…IVF….Birth Control…they’re coming for it all.

“Because of the great differences in our ways of thinking, it is inevitable that we have different religions and faiths. Each has its own beauty. And it is much better that we live together on the basis of mutual respect and mutual admiration.”
