Senate Republicans have blocked legislation that would protect access to in vitro fertilization, objecting to a vote on the issue Wednesday even after widespread backlash to a recent ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court that threatens the practice.

      If people actually did that every time the Republicans had a horrific take, the party would have died out decades ago. I wouldn’t hold out hope people will suddenly wake up now.

          Not sure how you take that away from my post. The point was that you can’t expect people to suddenly come to that realization when the preceding long series of awful stances of the party haven’t had that effect yet. Go out and organize, have conversations with people you know who might vote republican, but don’t just assume this one bad stance of theirs will be the tipping point to get folks to stop voting for them.

    What kind of heartless person would stop someone from having IVF. They know its a losing issue and will try their best to not have a vote on it. Force them to take a stand
