Trump's IVF flip-flop exposes massive GOP hypocrisy

{NAME},  Even in the barrage of horrifying things from today’s GOP, this one is a doozy.  Desperate to crawl out of the hole they’ve dug for themselves on IVF, Donald Trump recently proposed the idea of government-funded IVF treatments.  Make no mistake - this is damage control, plain and simple. Trump and his allies are scrambling to solve a crisis of their own making after their extreme anti-choice, anti-freedom agenda put IVF access at risk across the country.  The truth is, more than half of House Republicans - including multiple Representatives right here in Arkansas - are currently cosponsoring the Life at Conception Act. This radical bill would effectively render IVF impossible by granting full “personhood” to fertilized eggs in a laboratory.  Now, suddenly, Trump claims he wants the government to pay for IVF, and his own minions are split.  Arkansas’s Tom Cotton welcomes the idea “with restrictions,” while others like Lindsey Graham are firmly rejecting it. [A screenshot of an NBC article titled, “GOP Sen. Tom Cotton says Republicans are open to Trump’s IVF plan but that it should be “fiscally evaluated.]( But forget what they say. Let’s look at what they’ve done.  These are the same politicians who have spent years trying to restrict reproductive freedoms. They've shown us exactly who they are and what they believe. A last-minute pivot on IVF funding doesn't erase their long record of attacks on Americans' right to make their own healthcare decisions.  I've seen firsthand how IVF can create families and bring joy to people's lives. Two of our Vortex candidates - Rodney Govens and Caitlin Draper - have shared their own powerful IVF journeys with us. These deeply personal medical choices should be made by families and their doctors, not politicians.  The government has no business interfering in Americans' private reproductive decisions. Period. If Trump and the GOP want to help families, they can start by dropping their support for bills that threaten IVF access in the first place (I’m looking at you, Bruce Westerman and Rick Crawford).  We need leaders who will protect reproductive freedoms, not constantly put them at risk. With your support, Vortex can elect representatives like Rodney, Marcus, Caitlin, and Risie, who will stand up for your rights and keep the government out of your personal medical choices.  [Will you chip in $25, $50, $75, $100, or whatever you can afford today to help us flip Arkansas' congressional seats blue and defend reproductive freedom? Every dollar makes a difference in this critical fight, and there are just 63 days left until election day, so every minute counts.](  Let's send a clear message: Our healthcare decisions are not up for debate.  Thank you!  Robb [Support Vortex PAC >>](      Vortex PAC is a new grassroots movement to transform Arkansas politics away from the far-right.
