Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) said that Democrats “use” in vitro fertilization (IVF) accessibility concerns “as a scare tactic” in an interview Sunday.
“Senator Ted Cruz and I led a letter with all 49 Republican senators signing on saying they strongly support nationwide access to IVF,” Britt told “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream. “And the truth is, Democrats continue to use this issue as a scare tactic, because IVF is legal and accessible in all 50 states. And President Trump has made it perfectly clear that he’ll continue to make sure that that’s the case.”
Trump said late last month that his administration would protect IVF accessibility and have either the government or insurance companies pay for the treatment if he gets back into the White House.
“We are going to be — under the Trump administration, we are going to be paying for that treatment,” Trump said in an NBC News interview, also adding that being applicable to “all Americans who get it; all Americans who need it.”
