that s the choice in front of us, and i ve got to say i m glad i m on the democratic side. i m with joe biden who s at heart a decent and good man who wants government to work for people. i have to ask you because as we talk about republican revenge fantasies, senator katie brit of alabama another colleague in the senate passed a bill to tank the right to contraception part of a partisan scare tactic. okay, so let s just be really clear what she s really saying is that if we talk about what the republicans are threatening to do we really would scare america, and i think that s right. because look at it this way, what have the republicans done so far?
are aggressively lobbying to take away access to contraception, and then we ve got donald trump himself who just two weeks ago said, yeah, he was going to take a look at putting restrictions on contraception. and then as if all that were not enough, understand that today in the united states senate all but two republicans when given a chance to vote on what about a federal law to protect access to contraception that s all the bill really said, only two republicans said, yeah, i ll support that. the rest of them either voted no or ran for the hills so that they wouldn t have to say in public how they feel about taking away access to contraception. you better believe that americans should be scared about what republicans want to do
which says that servicemen and women should be able to freeze their eggs and sperm before a deployment into a combat zone and if they find themselves after they come home and they are infertile and they need ivf they should be able to access it. it includes cory booker s bill that will bring down the cost of ivf so that it is affordable to everyone. and then lastly it also includes my bill that covers ivf for federal employees so that their health insurance will cover ivf for those who need it. so this is the right to ivf act, which is going to come up for a vote later this june. yes. republicans have said on the record that they support ivf. do you expect them to support this act? well, i d like them to. but i expect that they will vote no on it because they really don t support ivf. they say they do, but they ve not solved the underlying problem in their position, which is they all believe that a fertilized egg is an extrauterine child to use the words of the alabama supreme
