U.S. Senator Katie Britt addressed the Senate floor on Wednesday with Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Roger Marshall (R-KS) in support of the IVF Protection Act. The bill, which aims to ensure nationwide access to in vitro fertilization, was blocked by Senate Democrats.
Wednesday, Sen. Britt passionately spoke about the joy of motherhood and the crucial role IVF plays in helping aspiring parents experience the miracle of life. “As a mom, I know firsthand that there is no greater joy in this life than that of being a mother. IVF helps aspiring parents across our nation experience the miracle of life, and start and grow a family. That’s why I strongly support continued nationwide IVF access,” Britt said.
She highlighted the pro-family nature of IVF access and its importance to millions facing infertility. She pointed out that about 2% of U.S. babies are born via IVF. Britt stressed the need for continued nationwide IVF access, noting the millions born with IVF’s help in recent decades. She also acknowledged Alabama’s swift action earlier this year to protect IVF access.
