This election, the future of health coverage for fertility treatments has been a hot political issue. A new report highlights what coverage looks like for American workers right now.
Senate Republicans blocked a bill to ensure federal protections for access to in vitro fertilization treatments, calling it a "show" vote by Democrats. Republican leaders and Former President Trump, the GOP nominee for president, say they back IVF but not the legislation proposed by Democrats.
Former President Donald Trump told crowds in Wisconsin and Michigan that he would make IVF treatment free if he wins a second term. “I was always for IVF," Trump told them.
People in politics have shared their experiences with infertility, including Michelle Obama and Mike Pence. But men haven't been as open about it on the campaign trail like Walz has.
13 states introduced bills this year that could give rights to embryos and fetuses associated with people. None passed yet but IVF patients and doctors fear such laws could limit fertility treatment.
Activists who describe themselves as "abortion abolitionists" want to charge women who have abortions with homicide and ban the fertility treatment known as IVF, saying life begins at conception.
Religions hold a variety of views toward IVF. Catholicism has one of the strongest negative judgments against the practice. Yet many in the church still use the procedure in order to have children.
Alabama GOP Sen. Katie Britt and Texas Rep. Mónica De La Cruz delivered rebuttals to Biden's speech focusing on immigration, crime, inflation and national security.
In a likely foreshadowing of Democrats' messaging this fall, President Biden called out those who enabled the overturning of Roe v. Wade and asked voters to give him a Democratic Congress.
