Today, U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) released a statement reaffirming his support for nationwide access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and denouncing Senate Democrats’ recent vote, which he described as fear-mongering ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
“Senate Republicans stand united in our support for nationwide access to IVF treatments,” said Sen. Mullin. “My wife Christie and I struggled for years to start a family, so this is personal. Thankfully, IVF is widely available in all 50 states. Chuck Schumer’s show vote today was nothing but a sorry political attempt to rattle the American people weeks ahead of an election, and we won’t stand for it. Supporting couples who are using IVF or other fertility treatments is not – and should not be – controversial. Republicans have always been the party of life, and Christie and I believe every child is a blessing from the Lord.”
