Indivisibles,
Ever since an Alabama court ruling exposed the threat Republicans pose to
IVF, GOP leaders have been tripping over themselves to neutralize the
politically disastrous issue. Trump, JD Vance, and Senate Republicans have
repeatedly assured voters that -- despite their past voting records --
they love IVF! Heck, they’ll make it free!
Well, yesterday Chuck Schumer called their bluff by putting the Right to
IVF Act up for a vote. And wouldn’t you know it, almost every single
Republican voted against protecting fertility treatments backed by 86% of
Americans.^1
That includes Republicans up for re-election in competitive states like
Ted Cruz, Rick Scott, and Deb Fischer. And JD Vance didn’t even care to
show up for the vote (though he voted against this same bill back in
June).
This shouldn’t surprise anyone, really. Yesterday’s vote lines up
perfectly with Republicans’ record of attacking our reproductive rights:
They voted against protecting access to contraception.^2
They blocked a bill that would protect the freedom to travel across state
lines for those seeking reproductive care.^3
They voted against codifying abortion rights.^4
And yesterday was the second time Republicans voted against protecting
IVF.
The only reason there’s any confusion about the threat Republicans pose to
our rights is because they are willing to shamelessly lie to voters. They
do it in their speeches, in their interviews, and their TV ads. But they
can’t run from their own record. Between now and Election Day, we’ll make
sure every single voter sees through the MAGA GOP’s lies and understands
the threat Trump and the GOP pose to reproductive rights.
Indivisibles are already knocking on doors, phonebanking, writing
postcards and letters, and texting voters in the states that will decide
control of the White House, House, and Senate. [ [link removed] ]If you want to make sure

To be clear, Republicans aren’t just voting against protecting our
freedoms -- they’re laying the groundwork to strip our rights away if they
win in November. We wouldn’t be here if Trump hadn’t stacked the Supreme
Court with MAGA extremists. It was his judges who overturned Roe v Wade.
But that was just the beginning.
Republicans already have a bill in the works -- the Life at Conception Act
-- that would declare legal personhood at the moment of fertilization,
functionally banning abortion nationwide and ending IVF as we know it. And
Project 2025 lays out a blueprint for how Trump could ban abortion
nationwide -- even without a Republican Congress passing new legislation.
So while Republicans pay lip service to protecting IVF, we know the truth:
The only way to protect our rights is to beat them at the ballot box.
We’re working to do just that. But if we want to scale up our GOTV
campaign in the states and districts that will decide this election, we’re
going to need the support of our grassroots donors.
