Democrats block Cruz attempt to pass GOP IVF bill

Democrats have blocked an attempt by Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Katie Britt to pass an in vitro fertilization (IVF) access bill through unanimous consent. This follows an earlier clash where the Democrats’ own IVF bill was blocked by Republicans. Cruz lambasted the Democrats, accusing them of exploiting the vote for campaign material, while Senator Patty Murray criticized the GOP’s bill for its inadequate protection of IVF.
