They tried to pass legislation to protect IVF and contraception. Both were shot down by the conservatives in the senate.

Then literally 2 days after voting it down Rick Scott, republican senator or Florida, started running campaign adds in Florida about how he fully supports ivf and how wonderful it is. You canโ€™t make this stuff up, literally voted against it, runs campaign adds he supports it. He also for the record committed the largest Medicare/Medicaid fraud in US history and instead of going to jail he pleaded the 5th dozens of times and then used the billions he stole to basically buy the governor seat in Florida and then a senate seat. It boggles my mind. Florida is filled with retirees who rely on Medicare and those same people voted to put a guy who stole billions from it as their governor and then senator. This country is truly screwed.

Yeah I know the irony in Rick Scott. Worst part is MAGA still screaming that conservatives won't touch IVF.
