Rep. Cammack & Sen. Rick Scott introduce resolution supporting IVF

Press release from the Office of Congresswoman Kat Cammack

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Kat Cammack and Senator Rick Scott introduced a resolution in the U.S. House and Senate, respectively, expressing support for Americans who are starting and growing families through in vitro fertilization (IVF). 

Congresswoman Kat Cammack said, “There is nothing more pro-life than helping women start and raise families. IVF has done just that for decades, allowing thousands of American couples to become parents and experience the joys of raising children. I’m proud to lead this resolution in the House that supports women, families, children, and states’ rights. Thank you to my friend and colleague Senator Scott for his leadership and support for IVF and American families.”

Senator Rick Scott said, “IVF is a wonderful thing that enables so many Americans struggling with infertility to have children and start a family. I have friends and family members who have used IVF and so do countless Floridians and Americans. While IVF remains available in all 50 states, I believe it is important for the Senate to make clear our unwavering support for current and aspiring parents using IVF to start and grow their families. I am proud to lead this resolution in the Senate and have Representative Kat Cammack’s support in the House of Representatives.”

Read the resolution below. 

Whereas, in vitro fertilization (hereinafter “IVF”) is a type of assisted reproductive technology developed and used for infertility treatment in adult women;

Whereas, the first successful birth of a child through the IVF process occurred in 1978, and since that time millions of children have been conceived and born using IVF worldwide;

Whereas, according to a 2015 report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (hereinafter “CDC”), more than one million children have been born in the United States between 1987 and 2015 through the use of assisted reproductive technologies, including IVF;

Whereas, according to the CDC, in the United States–

a) About 1 in 5 women with no prior births are unable to get pregnant after one year of trying to conceive a child, leading to a diagnosis of infertility;
b) About 1 in 4 women experiencing infertility have difficulty in carrying a pregnancy to term;
c) In 2021, more than 97,000 children were born using assisted reproductive technologies, including IVF;

Resolved, that the House of Representatives—

1. Affirms the desire of parents trying to conceive a child to start or grow a family;
2. Expresses sympathy for the millions of parents experiencing infertility issues as they strive to start or grow a family and recognizes the immense physical, emotional, and psychological toll of pursuing medical assistance for infertility, including in vitro fertilization; 
3. Cherishes the millions of children born through medical assistance to overcome infertility, including through in vitro fertilization; 
4. Recognizes that medical assistance for infertility, including in vitro fertilization, is and remains legal in all 50 States and U.S. Territories;
5. Affirms that laws enacted by the U.S. Congress should promote the sanctity of human life and support the development and growth of families in the United States;
6. Encourages further clinical research to improve outcomes for parents seeking medical assistance to overcome infertility as they strive to start or grow a family;  and 
7. Supports state legislative and regulatory actions to establish health, safety, and ethical standards for medical facilities offering assisted reproductive technologies, including in vitro fertilization.

  • Sorry Cat. you can’t have it both ways. A non-viable clump os cells is either a life or isn’t.

    From a scientific and logic standpoint, your positions are factually inconsistent and illogical. More pandering to the conservative cult. I’m far more concerned about the life of the mom and showing respect for her informed choices. The only answer is respecting choice until true viability.

    Please stop feeding us your BS. Bring back Roe.

    • If I’m not mistaken, abortion rights are up to the individual States. Why give the Fed more power? If you want to kill the life inside of you, drive to the next state over, Planned Parenthood awaits..

      • And so was slavery and Jim Crow. Would you like to bring them back also?

    • I’m concerned about my informed choices with that commi fascist mandatory Vax passports! My body, my choice! Stick that shot and your mask you know where!
      F the WHO, the UN, Shwab, the WEF, & the great reset!

    • If it helps people who aren’t capable of having children, good for them.

      Safe to say IVF will not work on a male or anyone claiming to be a female who isn’t. But hey, intelligent people know that already.

  • Democrats should be required to pay a fee and get a permit in order to procreate…that would cut down on the welfare payments.

    • Sherman, 11 of the top 15 states for federal dependency are red states.
