Should Congress pass national protections for in vitro fertilization and other fertility treatments? Absolutely. And there's a bill in Congress right now that the congressman can sign onto, and unfortunately, he hasn't. And the reality is His record shows that access to contraception and IVF could be under threat if he continues to be in Congress here. The reality is the congressman has inserted himself into a deeply personal decision. He has put himself in the doctor's office in a place where he's telling a woman what to do with her body by telling her what to do with an abortion. (10:56–11:04)
