Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., blocked a Republican effort to expedite a bill that would punish states against in vitro fertilization (IVF). The 'IVF Protection Act,' proposed by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., would restrict states from receiving Medicaid funding if they ban IVF services.

Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., objected a request for unanimous consent for the "IVF Protection Act" made by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala. Sen. Murray claimed the bill would allow states to “regulate IVF out of existence,” adding that it is “silent” on whether fetuses are considered human beings. The Alabama Supreme Court ruled in February that frozen embryos created through the process are children.
