Senate Republicans expressed confidence in states to protect in vitro fertilization (IVF) without the federal government getting involved.
Senate Republicans pointed to Alabama's recent law to protect in vitro fertilization providers from civil and criminal liability as proof of states' capacity to self-correct and the reason Democrat-led federal legislation to protect the fertility procedure isn't necessary. 'Basically every state I know of supports IVF,' said Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., a doctor. Other Republican senators who spoke to Fox News Digital agreed.
Cassidy cited Alabama's fast legislative work in his explanation against federal legislation on IVF. 'Once you get the federal government involved, it's going to open the door to some mischief that goes far beyond what you originally wanted to,' he said. 'The issue that brought this debate was happening in Alabama, and they've dealt with it in legislation,' added Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
Duckworth attempted to force a vote last week on her IVF bill, asking for unanimous consent to move it to the floor. However, Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss., objected to it. Duckworth said Republicans had not been approaching her to negotiate a potential bipartisan measure either. And its unclear whether Democrats would be willing to make concessions to work with their Republican colleagues on a bill. 'The Duckworth bill is a perfect bill,' said Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., expressed skepticism over Alabama's new law, telling Fox News Digital legal scholars believe 'it raises as many questions as it answers.'
