Washington, D.C. — Today, Indivisible’s Political Director, Dani Negrete, released the following statement in response to the introduction of Senator Duckworth’s Right to IVF Act and Wednesday’s vote on the Right to Contraception Act:
“Senate Democrats are taking the bold action necessary to protect our rights from MAGA extremists by introducing the Right to IVF Act and holding a vote on the Right to Contraception Act. Indivisible not only applauds Senator Duckworth and her Democrat colleagues, but we’re also proud to endorse both of these bills.
“Countless people across the country rely on contraception and fertility services like in-vitro fertilization to build their own family and lives. These rights are so fundamental and broadly popular, it would be absurd for any lawmaker to oppose enshrining them. But we know MAGA Republicans look for any opportunity to block protections for reproductive freedom.
“At a time where MAGA extremists at every level of government are attacking reproductive rights – from the courts to Congress to criminal candidates – it’s critical Democrats continue to be tenacious and aggressive in their fight to protect reproductive rights. We commend Senate Democrats for taking action to protect access to IVF and contraception for all.”
