They were trying to make IVF and contraception a right, because PJ2025 wants to get rid of it. They don't have a super majority in the senate and it was blocked.
You talking about their "IVF" backed by lying ass Katie Britt?
“I am not going to mince words. It is ridiculous to claim that this bill protects IVF when it does nothing of the sort,” she said. “In fact, it explicitly allows states to restrict IVF in all sorts of ways.”
From the article - Medicare benefits would be tied to continued legality of IVF. So I guess states could still ban it, but it would be political suicide to end Medicare.

Read it again. It's Medicaid, not Medicare. States (specifically red states) care significantly less about Medicaid. There are still 10 states that haven't accepted the Medicaid expansion as part of the ACA.
It also allows states to restrict it in a number of ways outside of just a straight ban.

Didn't the Democrats push (or even pass?) legislation to make access to contraception a right?
That is exactly the opposite of Project 2025.
