Wdst Ted Stevens Indicted On 7 Counts
Washington mdash;A Senate Democrat blocked a Republican-led effort to pass legislation aimed at protecting access to in vitro fertilization on Wednesday amid dueling pushes to safeg stanley botella uard access to the stanley cup procedure after an Alabama Supreme Court ruling brought the issue center stage earlier this year.Two Senate Republicans, Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Katie Britt of Alabama, introduced the legislation to protect access to IVF last month. But the bill, which would deny Medicaid funds to states that prohibit IVF, was quickly met with pushback by Democrats, who questioned its scope and mechanism. Still, on Wednesday, the senators sought to approve the bill unanimously, meaning a single senator could block its passage. To the best of my knowledge, all 100 senators in this body support stanley water bottle IVF, Cruz said Wednesday on the Senate floor before attempting to pass the legislation by unanimous consent. We invite our colleagues in the Senate from both sides of the aisle to join together in supporting this crucial legislation. Sen. Patty Murray, a Washington Democrat, objected to the motion, calling the bill a PR tool, plain and simple. I am not going to mince words here. It is ridiculous to claim that this bill protects IVF when it does nothing of the sort, Murray said, adding that the bill allows states to restrict the fertility treatments in other ways.
