Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to question the Republican commitment to American families.

Recently, actions in Alabama have led a nationwide discussion on the popular in vitro fertilization, or IVF, pregnancy treatments. More than 8 million American babies have been born through IVF, and it has helped create parents and families nationwide.

The Republicans want to ban IVF across the country. First, Republicans want to force women to have children. Now, they want to stop women from having them. It is very confusing and very hypocritical.

Democrats want women to choose when they have their children. We also want to protect that right with the Women's Health Protection Act. The American people should make reproductive health choices, not politicians.
