Hickenlooper: “Every family should have that same opportunity. But if MAGA Republicans have their way, Americans will be stripped of that freedom to grow their families and have control over their own bodies.”
In case you missed it, U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper told his family’s IVF story in his Giddy Up-Date email newsletter to Coloradans in the wake of Republicans blocking the Right to IVF Act for a second time last week.
“Government doesn’t belong in a doctor’s office when a woman is making some of the most personal health care decisions about her body and her family. You’re not free if you don’t have the freedom to decide when and how to have a family,” wrote Hickenlooper. “That’s why we’re going to keep bringing up this bill and voting on it until every American has their freedom to begin or expand their family.”
Hickenlooper also released a statement directly after last week’s vote on the Senate floor. In June, Hickenlooper spoke on the Senate floor about his family’s personal experience with IVF story prior to the Senate’s first vote on the Right to IVF Act.
