Two groups, including Republican senators, voted against IVF this week. Fox buried the news.
Fox News has consistently undercovered Republican efforts to curtail reproductive rights

On June 12, Southern Baptists passed a resolution condemning many routine practices associated with in vitro fertilization, including the creation and storage of “surplus” embryos, citing the “destruction of embryonic human life.” On June 13, Republican senators voted against a bill that would have protected access to IVF. Both votes could have significant political ramifications, so naturally Fox News almost completely ignored them. The network ran only one segment discussing the Southern Baptist vote and notably did not discuss Senate Republicans’ move to strike down the IVF bill at all.
