U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson:
What Democrats do is they falsely push fear. IVF, access to it, is not under threat anywhere. You had one Supreme Court decision in Alabama. Again, I don't understand all the laws, but within two weeks, I think it was, Alabama legislature corrected that and reinstated their ability in Alabama to have IVF. The problem with Democrats is rather than just have a, first of all, so there's no need whatsoever for a national law. You can get IVF in every state. It's not under any threat. This is, again, this is a made up issue. This is a solution looking for a problem, where a problem doesn't exist. So the Democrats scare — and I think despicably, create fear where none should exist — scare women into thinking that, you know, Republicans are gonna take away their IVF or their contraceptive. And then they, in order to reinforce that — it's fear mongering — they come up with a bill that then intrudes on other people's freedom. Listen, there are people with very strong, strongly held religious and moral objections to IVF, 'cause you create life and sometimes it's discarded and they object to that. So they don't want to have IVF but they are a minority. Again, I completely respect their profound moral choice on that. But the vast majority of people realize this is actually good. This allows people who can't have children, like my daughter, who had a serious congenital heart defect — pregnancy is way too risky for her. So we were just so blessed when we found two wonderful surrogate mothers, and quite honestly, Wisconsin has very good laws on surrogacy. So I have two wonderful grandchildren. So obviously I support IVF, I just don't, I'm just not gonna go along with the fearmongering and support a bill that would literally impose Democrats' or somebody else's moral view of something on, for example, Catholic providers or whatever. I mean, that's, again, Democrats always overreach, they put in those poison pills, but it's just, it's all despicable and it is, it is despicable fearmongering, like Republicans want to take away IVF or contraceptive. It's just simply false.
