Three Senate Democrats introduced a package of bills meant to protect access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) on June 3, kicking off the party’s pre-election push to put reproductive issues front and center.

The Right to IVF Act comprises four bills previously introduced by Sens. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.). Those bills include Ms. Duckworth’s Access to Family Building Act, Ms. Murray’s Veteran Families Health Services Act, Mr. Booker’s Access to Infertility Treatment and Care Act, and Ms. Duckworth’s Family Building FEHB (Federal Employees Health Benefits) Fairness Act.
