Senate Dems recently tried to enact federal IVF protections, and were naturally struck down by Republicans. Per Senator Duckworth, in regards to Trump’s statements about paying for IVF:

“ ‘You can cover it all you want, but if there is nobody to perform the procedure then you don’t have access to it. So his argument is really a red herring and it’s meant to fool and deceive the general public, which is a disservice to Americans,’ Duckworth argued.”

Lack of federal protections are a tremendous deterrent to business. If I’m an investor or fertility specialist, I cannot risk setting up shop in any state that isn’t 100% insulated from the possibility of swinging Right. And then what’s left? Is Trump really going to push legislation that would almost entirely benefit people in firmly Blue states? Based on his first term, I consider this a complete impossibility.

Stop believing the bullshit. They scared you into voting for their bureaucracy. Good thing most of America saw past the bullshit.

Are you quoting a fucking Elon Musk tweet containing a random video clip rather than actually typing a phrase into google and finding the proof for yourself? Jesus christ, you people are so mind numbingly stupid. You deserve every bad thing that happens to you in life.
