Two Alabama hospitals have stopped the procedures….
This IS giving the Grand ole Party problems….
The party seems to be intent upon driving their party into a ditch ….
The National Republican Senatorial Committee is urging candidates to strongly oppose the Alabama Supreme Court ruling restricting access to fertility treatments, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: Republicans have struggled to find a winning strategy on reproductive issues since the conservative-led U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade — and the Alabama case has given Democrats a chance to bash GOP candidates about the slippery slope of red states’ post-Roe restrictions.
Driving the news: The Senate Republican campaign arm sent a memo to candidates Friday morning, urging them to “clearly and concisely reject efforts by the government to restrict IVF,” or in vitro fertilization, according to a copy obtained by Axios.
- It called the Alabama ruling “fodder for Democrats hoping to manipulate the abortion issue for electoral gain.”
- “There are zero Republican Senate candidates who support efforts to restrict access to fertility treatments.”
- One senior GOP aide told Axios that anyone not speaking out on the ruling would be committing “political malpractice.”
Between the lines: Most Americans support abortion rights, and the Alabama decision highlighted one of the GOP’s biggest vulnerabilities in November, as it tries to retake control of the Senate and the White House, and hang on to its majority in the House.
- The NRSC’s move is a signal that many Republicans hope to navigate the post-Roe fallout by limiting how far they’ll go in curbing reproductive rights — while sticking with a conservative, pro-family platform.
- It follows similar objections House Republicans, many of whom fear the Alabama ruling could hurt GOP candidates in suburban House districts that President Biden won in 2020….
The Biden campaign has jumped on this against the ruling ….
The Alabama Supreme Court ruling jeopardizing access to in vitro fertilization has left Republicans across the country scrambling to stake out positions on a procedure that is broadly popular with Americans.
It’s also provided President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign with what it sees as a freighter-size political opening to pin much of the blame squarely on Donald Trump.
Ahead of a speech Trump is scheduled to give Thursday evening to conservative Christian broadcasters in Nashville, Tennessee, the Biden campaign has gone aggressively on the offensive, accusing the former president of being responsible for current reproductive rights restrictions across the South and elsewhere….
Well?
Trump ain’t stupid…..
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump said Friday that he would “strongly support the availability of IVF” and called on lawmakers in Alabama to preserve access to the treatment. It was his first comment since an Alabama Supreme Court ruling that led some providers in the state to suspend their in vitro fertilization programs and has divided Republicans nationally over the issue.
Trump, in a post on his Truth Social network, said: “Under my leadership, the Republican Party will always support the creation of strong, thriving, healthy American families. We want to make it easier……
