How the IVF Fight Might Impact the Battle for Congress

Politico: “For now, IVF has yet to dominate the political airwaves the way that abortion rights did after the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Whether that remains true as the parties edge closer to November depends on how well Republicans can navigate tricky conversations about IVF — and if Democrats can successfully tie the fertility technology to broader reproductive rights. (It’s also early in the cycle, with the real cross-party fighting coming after the primaries.)”

“As both parties search for every advantage in the fight for control of Congress, the legal battles over personhood that Roe’s fall kickstarted on the state level are giving Democrats an opportunity to connect the Alabama ruling to the broader loss of a national right to abortion. And it doesn’t help that Republicans are still scrambling to apply the lessons they learned on abortion, with many admitting they lack a clear position on IVF beyond general support for it.”
