Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) released a statement today reaffirming his support for continued nationwide access to in vitro fertilization (IVF). He also rejected Senate Democrats' attempts to introduce what he described as a 'Summer of Show Votes.'

"Like many Americans, my wife and I struggled for years to have children," said Sen. Mullin. "Thankfully, IVF and other fertility services have helped countless couples fulfill their dreams of starting a family, including my own. Despite Senate Democrats’ desperate attempts to politicize this issue and fear-monger to voters, the reality is, not a single Senate Republican opposes in vitro fertilization; in fact, we emphatically support it. I will not participate in Chuck Schumer’s latest political ‘Show Vote’ exercise."
