britt: mr. president, i am proud today to be joining my colleague from texas in support of the ivf protection act. i am grateful to senator cruz for his leadership on this important topic. both senator cruz and i are parents. we can both attest to the fact that there is no greater blessing in life than our children. for many americans, building a family, becoming a mom or a dad, that's their american dream. ivf makes the difference, and achieving that dream for millions of americans who are facing infertility. ivf helps parents to start families, to grow their family. in the u.s., nearly 200 babies are born a day. so nearly 2% of all babies born are because of ivf. this treatment is really a game changer for so many families. that's why i strongly support continued nationwide access to ivf. ivf is legal and available from coast to coast. in every single corner of america and in all 50 states. that includes my home state of alabama, where governor ivey and the alabama legislature acting quickly t

britt: would the senator yield for a question? mr. cruz: i am happy to yield to the senator from alabama. mrs. britt: it is my understanding as the two of us came together, 49 republicans strong sent a letter, statement saying we strongly support ivf. now if the democrats were serious about needing to protect ivf, which, by the way, is legal and accessible in every state, then wouldn't they have come to us to figure out a pathway forward? but yet today, instead of taking our bill and if they feel like it needs to be approved, working to do that, they're choosing to do a show vote just to give themselves something to campaign on. has anyone approached you about working together to find a pathway forward for ivf, because i am a strong supporter of ivf. i am proudly here pro-family, believe that we need to find ways to make sure that people do have access and it continues that way. and i think we've been very clear. but no one has approached me. and you have to get to 60. so if you were really going to, if you really believe ivf is in tr

i am going to else's body to unanimous consent to pass senator katie britt my legislation protectinginto thela federal lw a clear federal statutory protection for ivf. after i asked for consent, and you're to see senator stand up and begin speaking. when she began speaking, you should listen to two magic words, i object. and if the democrats say those words, i object, it will defeat this bill. and i want you to understand that all that t is necessary, as were the democrats not to say those words i object. we had to address senator stand up and give speeches about all of the policy priorities but understand, the show but this afternoon is about not about ivf because they wanted to protecting on this bill passed 100 — zero,ow right now the showboat this afternoon is about democrats wanting to spend hundreds of millions of dollars running tv ads and election season, falsely claiming the republicans oppose ivf. so listen carefully. if you hear the words i object, from senate democrats then you will understand the only reason that ivfla is not protected witi strong ironclad protection, an

britt: i appreciate the remarks from my distinguished colleague from utah. and while my colleague from oklahoma gets set, i just with a with to recap a couple of things. i mean, here we have today a fracking bill that's been put on the floor but yet blocked by democrats. we have a bill here just now closing asylum loopholes, helping unaccompanied children get back to their family, but that's been block by democrats. earlier you saw us put a bill on the floor that would actually help build a barrier on our southern border, but yet that was blocked by democrats. when we look at how vice president harris is running, it's obviously very different than the way she served. if you look back in 2020, vice president harris said, and i quote, trump's border wall is a complete waste of taxpayer money and won't make us any safer. i'm wondering if she'll put a disclaimer that says that underneath her commercials this focus on the one hand show the border wall. she said as a senator that she vowed to block any funding for the border wall and urged her colleagues to reject

britt: thank you. mr.ident, lulu griffin, a 15-year-old from mountainbrook, alabama, that's who i'm here to talk about today. she's had a high school student who loves basketball, volleyball and golf. she is one of four siblings. she's actually a twin. lulu loves to spend time at the lake with her brothers and sisters. her favorite color is purple. on june 7, her life changed forever. that was the day she was hadn't the beach enjoying the best of summer with her family and friends. she was looking for sand dollars in the ocean with a friend. and that's when a shark attacked. what happened next is nothing short of a miracle. it was a miracle because, on that day, by the grace of god, there were doctors, nurses, emt's and other good samaritans that were there on that same beach who immediately jumped into action to help lulu. these incredible men and women undoubtedly saved her life. but lulu's resiliency and strength certainly was a dominating factor, not just in her survival but in her incredible recovery.

they were even against the fig leaf fake ivf bill pushed by senators cruz and britt.t's how extreme they are. if people want to see how strong project 2025's grip is on the gop, the outcome of today's ivf vote will be very, very revealing. and yet by all accounts, there is every reason in the world for senators to vote yes today. today's vote is simply a motion to reconsider. we're merely asking whether or not this bill is worth debating. democrats certainly think it is. we certainly think that if any issue is worth discussing in this chamber, it's protecting america's reproductive freedoms. and we democrats extend an open invitation to our republican colleagues to join us. republicans regularly claim that they are the party that stands up for families. well, today's bill is about as pro-family as it gets. it helps create families. ivf does. it says that access to ivf should be a basic right for all and will make sure insurance companies cover ivf treatments in their plans. the last point is key. expanding insurance coverage for ivf is something the vast majority ever

bode britt , in another development, we are faced with two double standards at the same time. we have seen the first one about iran, recently america, england, france. germany and the netherlands claimed that iran gave russia 200 short-range missiles, even claiming that the reason for this was that russia's stockpiles were running out. these 200 missiles are vital for russia, of course , iran has officially rejected these claims and declared that western countries should support the peace talks and the end of the war like iran itself, however , the west itself has provided more than 400 billion dollars in military aid to kiev. is the position we are facing two very serious sides that we are facing in this international conflict, in particular, one of the sides that you mentioned in your question is talking about the very extensive aid of the west to ukraine, which is given to one of the sides. war means ukraine will be given, and these western claims are stupid and regrettable that iran wants to have and iran has refused to accept such a request . the problem is that washingto

so one of my first bipartisan bills that i introduced was with senator katie britt and. aha. i saw all of that. we together introduced legislation to make permanent the funding of the national institute of health, program and initiative directives for research funding and for disparities in women's health. and so that helps us to really not just talk about the policies that are creating those disparities in maternal health, but that actually have the permanent funding necessary to understand these problems much more deeply so that we can pass legislation so that we can train health care providers, so that we can inform communities about how we move from disparity to equality. so that was the first piece of bipartisan legislation. senator britt has been portrayed and caricatured in a number of different ways in our time in the senate. but here's what i would say. she was the first republican leader to reach out to me to have breakfast. talked with me about the commonality of being both to the of the senate, but also being young parents and being parents in this moment in havin

abc's britt clennet leads us off from tel aviv. so abc news took a different approach, focusing heavily on the wave. protests across israel where thousands tried to pressure netanyahu into accepting a ceasefire, something that he has been flatly rejecting for months. the coverage zoomed in on the families of the captives seen gathered at the gaza border uh pleading through a megaphone for the release of their loved ones, but these appeals would have been better directed at the source of the ongoing bloodshed, for example, standing outside the prime minister's residence maybe uh and urging him to put an end to the senseless violence in gaza. i would agree uh, instead of amplifying their cries at the border, they should have channeled their... desperation into pushing netanyahu to end this relentless war, which he doesn't seem intent on doing at all. yeah, uh, notice, how both sky news, australia and abc news, uh, followed the reports with commentary from an israeli official or a corresponded in tel aviv, yeah, once again, no voices from gaza, no palestinian voices, whatsoever, just ampli
