    that would withhold Medicaid funding from states that ban IVF, but it was blocked by Democrats.

    Withholding Medicaid funding doesn’t seem like a great idea. But on the whole being against banning IVF seems like a good idea. Am I missing something?

    Republicans don’t want to secure IVF and don’t want to pay for Medicaid. GOP state’s would happily block IVF to get Medicaid defunded.

      they want to turn their states into shitholes, and a few have succeeded in that. I’m all for the brain drain that’ll happen. especially if those funds got diverted to blue states.

      I’m aware of their issues with reproduction e rights. But that’s not what that statement says.

        I read the OP again. I read your statement again. I’m not seeing a different meaning than the one I came away with and commented on originally.

        What are you saying the statement says that my comments contradict?

          The statement said withhold Medicaid for states banning IVF. Aka if you ban IVF, the bill would punish the state by withholding Medicaid. Seems to be the opposite of what Republicans want with IVF.

            I see your confusion: (many) Republicans want to ban IVF.

            Look at the title of this post we’re in. “Republicans block Senate Democrats’ IVF bill”. That bill protects IVF, and the republicans shot it down.
