House Republicans are facing pressure from within their party to hold a vote on legislation supporting in vitro fertilization (IVF) before the upcoming November elections. The push for this vote comes as some Republicans in competitive races seek to demonstrate their support for IVF, which has come under scrutiny following a recent Alabama Supreme Court ruling.
Despite efforts from multiple GOP lawmakers, Speaker Mike Johnson has been hesitant to bring IVF legislation to the floor. Concerns about passing the legislation in the narrowly held Republican majority and potential political repercussions have contributed to Johnson's reluctance.
