The package comes as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has outlined plans for the chamber to put reproductive rights 'front and center' this month.
Washington — A group of Senate Democrats is set to unveil a new package to protect access to IVF on Monday, as the party makes a push around reproductive rights this month — two years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. An Alabama high court decision earlier this year brought attention to IVF as a possible new front in the fight over reproductive rights in the U.S. when the court deemed that embryos are children under state law and prompted providers to halt fertility treatments.
And other measures among its contents work to lower costs for Americans by requiring insurance plans to cover IVF. The legislation comes as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has outlined plans for the chamber to put reproductive rights 'front and center' this month, like with action slated on a bill to protect access to contraception.
