Senate Republicans voted Thursday to block a bill put forward by Democrats that would guarantee access to in vitro fertilization nationwide.

The legislation failed to advance in a procedural vote by a tally of 48-47. It needed 60 votes to advance. Republicans criticized the Democrat-led legislation as unnecessary overreach and a political show vote.

“Why should we vote for a bill that fixes a non-existent problem? There’s not a problem. There’s no restrictions on IVF, nor should there be,” Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, told reporters.

The vote is part of a broader push by Senate Democrats to draw a contrast with Republicans over reproductive health care in the run up to the November elections. Democrats are highlighting the issue this month, which marks the two-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer slammed Republicans who voted against the bill, saying that they are being “pushed by the MAGA hard right.”

“These are the very same people who pushed to get rid of Roe in the Dobbs decision,” Schumer told CNN’s Erin Burnett on “OutFront” Thursday evening, referring to the blockbuster 2022 Supreme Court decision that overturned a constitutional right to abortion. “We know what they’re up to. They want to get rid of IVF, they’re afraid to say it.”

Biden attacked Senate Republicans after the vote.

“Once again, Senate Republicans refused to protect access to fertility treatments for women who are desperately trying to get pregnant,” Biden said in a written statement. “And just last week, Senate Republicans blocked nationwide protections for birth control. The disregard for a woman’s right to make these decisions for herself and her family is outrageous and unacceptable.”

Republicans have criticized the Democrat-led legislation as unnecessary overreach and a political show vote.

The legislation the Senate will take up – the Right to IVF Act – would enshrine into federal law a right for individuals to receive IVF treatment as well as for doctors to provide treatment, which would override any attempt at the state level to restrict access.

The bill seeks to make IVF treatment more affordable by mandating coverage for fertility treatments under employer-sponsored insurance and certain public insurance plans. It would also expand coverage of fertility treatments, including IVF, under US military service members and veterans’ health care.

The IVF legislative package was introduced by Democratic Sens. Patty Murray of Washington state, Tammy Duckworth of Illinois and Cory Booker of New Jersey.

The vote comes after Alabama’s Supreme Court said, in a first-of-its-kind ruling earlier this year, that frozen embryos are children and those who destroy them can be held liable for wrongful death – a decision that reproductive rights advocates warned could have a chilling effect on infertility treatments.

While the state’s legislature took action aimed at protecting IVF in the wake of the ruling, Democrats argue that this is only one example of how access to reproductive health care is under threat across the nation.

Southern Baptist delegates, for instance, expressed alarm Wednesday over the way in vitro fertilization is routinely being practiced, approving a resolution lamenting that the creation of surplus frozen embryos often results in “destruction of embryonic human life.”

The IVF vote is the latest move by Democrats to bring up a bill expected to be blocked by Republicans. Last week, Senate Republicans voted to block a Democrat-led bill that would guarantee access to contraception.

Most Republicans dismissed the effort as a political messaging vote that was unnecessary and overly broad, though GOP Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine crossed over to vote with Democrats in favor of advancing the bill.

Republicans have introduced their own bills on IVF and contraception. GOP Sens. Katie Britt of Alabama and Ted Cruz of Texas have introduced a bill called the IVF Protection Act and Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa has put forward a separate bill to promote access to contraception.

Cruz and Britt attempted to pass their IVF legislation on the Senate floor Wednesday through a unanimous consent request, but Democrats blocked the effort.

Murray, who objected to the request, criticized the GOP bill, arguing that states could “enact burdensome and unnecessary requirements and create the kind of legal uncertainty and risk that would force clinics to once again close their doors.”

Under the IVF bill from Britt and Cruz, states would not be eligible for Medicaid funding if they prohibit access to IVF, but the legislation “permits states to implement health and safety standards regarding the practice of IVF,” according to a press release.

Save Trans Lives

The "TransHoming Project" aims to build Tiny Home communities and RV Parks for Minorities fleeing red states. These homes could either serve as temporary lodging or permanent residence.

These communities would be established in sanctuary states such as:

New Jersey

New York

Oregon

Illinois

California

Any other state that is safe for LGBTQ+ individuals, Women, Children, and People Of Color.

The end goal is to have large-scale communities with little-to-no cost for the inhabitants, and a self-sustaining model for water, food, and electricity.

If the United States will not protect us, we will make our own sanctuary.

Why is this project needed?

As of April 7th, 2023, there have been over 450 anti-LGBTQ+ bills proposed in the United States. These bills range anywhere from Banning transgender healthcare for youth (Idaho HB 71) and prohibiting Health Insurance from covering ANY Gender affirming care (Florida HB 1421), to Charging anyone who uses the “incorrect” bathroom with sexual assault (Arkansas SB 270).

To find more information, visit the ACLU’s website.

With these bills in the works, the safety of LGBTQ+ persons, their health providers, and their children are at risk. It is imperative that we start relocating to blue sanctuary states before these bills become law.

With our project, we will ensure that those who cannot afford to quickly relocate on their own can seek proper shelter through us.

Not New, But New To Us

Series: Fluffy Faerie Tales

Fandom: Supernatural

Pairing: Pre-Slash Sastimmy/Jamstiel (Jimmy Novak/Sam Winchester/Castiel)

Rating: General

Tags/Warnings: Half-Fae Sam Winchester, Jimmy and Castiel Are Twins, Selkie Jack Kline, Sam Winchester Is Jack Kline's Adopted Father, Furniture Shopping, Ethical Business Owner Sam Winchester

Summary: A faerie bargain to ensure no one remembered that John Castiel and James Constantine Novak hadn't actually been born twins in exchange for a week of service. At the end of the week, they were presented with an offer of permanent employment and the chance to move into their own home far away from the family that barely counted as such. Now Cas and Jimmy just needed to sort out certain details of living on their own, like buying actual groceries and even furniture.

For: @fluffyfebruary challenge!

Prompt: Day 13: Splurge

Read on AO3

THEY NEVER WOULD have been able to afford it working any of their previous jobs, even pulling two paychecks for one unfurnished single-bedroom-and-bathroom apartment. Frankly, it would have taken them months to save up enough to afford the apartment itself, even living at home the way they had needed to for the three years after college before embarking on the search that had led them to southern New Jersey in the first place. Minimum wage was not a livable wage as they had discovered, and good understanding managers who could accept and work with their necessary accommodations were few and far between.

Sam was an entirely different breed of business owner than Jimmy and Cas Novak were used to, not even counting the part where he was half-faerie and a powerful sorcerer. Their initial bargain had been for a week of service in the Avalon-located cafe, Lighthouse CommodiTeas, in exchange for the spell which had altered reality so that no one besides the twins, their mother, and Sam himself would ever remember that "John Castiel and James Constantine Novak" had ever been born as only one child instead of two. Due to them not being local - Avalon, New Jersey, was a long way from Normal, Illinois, after all - Sam had graciously included the twins' use of his spare room and meals in the bargain so they would not be at risk trying to afford living out of another dirt-cheap motel on the dregs of their nearly exhausted savings while they worked for him. It was during that week of cohabitation with Sam and his son Jack that it had been revealed that Jimmy was a fairly talented cook and that Cas's frequent binges of stress-baking produced quite delectable results. The twins had been flabbergasted when Sam had offered to hire them on full time at the starting salary of twenty-five dollars an hour with health and dental insurance and guaranteed three weeks of paid time off. Each.

They were not stupid enough to say no to that, even after negotiating overlapping eight hour shifts six days a week with alternating days off. Sam had even been generous enough to spot them the first month's wages up front with the stipulation that their paychecks during that period would consist solely of whatever overtime wages they earned so that they could afford to pay the first and last month security deposit on the Ocean City apartment, turn on the power and water, and acquire some basic necessities from the nearby Good Will and other thrift shops they spotted around the area between Ocean City and Avalon. Much to their surprise, Charlie had taken one of her own PTO days to go with Cas to the grocery store on his first day off to help stock their kitchen with more than just ramen, rice, canned beans and vegetables, crackers, and peanut butter.

She had done it again the next month, this time taking Jimmy to a discount furniture store she knew about because she claimed that she had no idea how he and Cas were managing to eat sitting on the floor around their twenty dollar secondhand coffee table or get anything resembling a decently restful night's sleep on a couple of sleeping bags. She had been only slightly impressed by the explanation that both sleeping bags were opened up and zipped together to make a double thick mattress pad that they slept on between the blankets and pillows they had brought with them on their cross-country trip.

"You aren't living out of a motel room anymore," she pointed out. "You can afford to get a real kitchen table and chairs and maybe a futon if you're that opposed to buying yourselves a couple of actual beds."

"There's hardly enough space for even one bed," Jimmy protested.

"Oh my goddess, there was only one bed," Charlie deadpanned. "Be still my fanfic writer heart."

"You do know we're brothers, right?" Jimmy rolled his eyes, but he had let her shove him into her tiny little obnoxiously orange rollerskate of a 1968 Volkswagon Beetle and drive him across to the mainland. He had even conceded to getting a sturdy wooden table and a couple of chairs that could be used as a wide double-sided desk when not playing dinner table. Three hundred and twenty dollars for a table and two chairs still felt like too much to spend on furniture, but Charlie managed to talk him around by pointing out that it was a one time purchase he would use for probably years.

They were heading for the check out counter with the tags for the table and chairs to pay and arrange for delivery (Charlie's treat since her car wasn't going to hold even one of the chairs) when Jimmy saw it. Two-toned royal blue and purple colorblock, L-shaped, with a long lounger section and plush stuffed cushions complete with large two-foot-squared throw pillows in a zigzag pattern that made Jimmy think of a video arcade carpet. He veered off towards it, ignoring Charlie's bewildered call, and slowly ran his hand over it, feeling the soft, short pile of velvety fabric. He ran his hand back the other way and was pleasantly surprised to find it just as soft in that direction.

"Well, no question why that one is on discount," Charlie said as she joined him. "That has got to be the ugliest couch I've ever seen."

"Girl with the day-glo car says what now?" Jimmy retorted, not looking up from the couch, studying the configuration and dimensions. He lifted one of the cushions and had to bite back an exclamation at the sight of a handle on the inner edge of the base. Soft, big enough to fall asleep on as it was, pillows big enough to sit on at the coffee table if needed, and a sleeper?!

"Fine, touché," Charlie snorted. "You sure about this, though, dude? Two minutes ago you were having vapors over paying three hundred bucks for a table and chairs."

"And as you pointed out, they're meant to be a one-time purchase that Cas and I will get years of multipurpose use out of," Jimmy pointed out. "And it's been discounted, right?"

"Down to eight-fifty," Charlie said.

Jimmy blinked. Mentally translated that as, most likely, being eight hundred and fifty dollars rather than the completely irrational eight dollars and fifty cents. Swallowed. Ran his fingers along the fabric again. "Cas will love it," he said at length.

"Fair enough," Charlie said, and plucked up the tag to add to the others.

@the100arrows replied in the comments: “Illinois is the worst state??? The armpit of America. What are y’all on”

It’s one of the most progressive states in the entire country. The right to abortion is in the constitution. There are laws protecting the right to gender-affirming treatment, prohibiting book bans, prohibiting employers from asking about salaries at previous jobs, and mandating cultural competency to be part of continuing medical education. Insurance coverage for mental health services is mandated by law. Recreational marijuana usage is LEGAL, not just decriminalized. During this year’s legislative session, the General Assembly passed a $50.6 billion budget that invests in early childhood education and makes community college free for families at or below median income.

We’ve got Chicago. Now there’s a lot about Chicago’s cultural impact on the region and the US that can be said. What I find more important as a Chicago resident is that it is one of the most livable and walkable cities that I have ever lived in or visited. It’s cleaner than NYC, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. Chicago traffic is also a lot less congested and a lot more straightforward than it is in any of those three cities. The cost of living is very affordable compared to major metropolitan areas in the US, and that includes cities in the South like Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, Atlanta, and Nashville. There are MULTIPLE stores within a ten minute drive of where I live that carry Asian foods. There’d be even more if I wanted to take a thirty minute trip to either Argyle or Chinatown.

Outside of Chicago, we’ve got Fermilab, bison, the Fabyan Windmill, and Aldi US headquarters out in Batavia. The architecturally stunning Baha’i House of Worship is in Wilmette. We’ve got tons of public and private municipal and state beaches along Lake Michigan. We’ve got Shawnee National Forest in Herod, which is supposedly one of the most beautiful places to visit in the US. Starved Rock State Park in Oglesby and Buffalo Rock State Park in Ottawa deserve mentions too, because I like those places. The Anderson Japanese Gardens in Rockford aren’t as large as the Chicago Botanic Garden, but they’re stunning. There’s a bunch of other lakes and cute tourist towns, and I hear the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is a nice place to live and visit in addition to being well-ranked in many academic fields.

Anyway, I recognize that most of the things I love about Illinois, like my ability to get the ingredients to make bún đậu mắm tôm at my local supermarket, is entirely due to the fact that I live in Chicago. If I lived anywhere else in Illinois, I’d probably be shit outta luck. But I guess even without Chicago, it’s a really nice state. Michigan and Minnesota just intrigue me because they get SO MUCH MORE SNOW (and are also progressive states with scenic Great Lakes views), and the snowfall in Chicago’s been disappointing in the past three years.

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) provides cash aid along with job training and support services. Additionally, healthcare options such as Medicaid and FamilyCare give eligible mothers access to vital medical services, ensuring their health and that of their children remain a priority.

Illinois Earned Income Tax Credit

The Illinois Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is designed to provide financial relief for working families and individuals. This credit reduces the amount of taxes owed, often resulting in a refund that can be crucial for single mothers. To qualify, applicants must meet specific income guidelines based on family size.

To qualify, applicants must meet income and residency requirements.

Both programs are designed to reduce barriers to essential healthcare services for single mothers across the state.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility for financial assistance programs in Illinois varies by type. Generally, single mothers must demonstrate a need based on income and family size. Most programs have specific income limits that applicants must meet to qualify. Residency is another important factor. Applicants typically need to be residents of Illinois for a certain period before applying for assistance. It’s also essential to provide proof of guardianship or custody of the children. Some programs may require participants to engage in activities like job searching or education while receiving aid. Understanding these criteria can help streamline the application process significantly.

Documents Required

When applying for Illinois grants for single mothers, having the right documents is crucial. Typically, you’ll need proof of identity, such as a driver’s license or state ID. Additionally, financial documentation is essential. This may include pay stubs, tax returns, and bank statements to demonstrate your income level. Gather any relevant forms related to your children. Birth certificates and social security cards are often required to verify dependent status and eligibility for assistance programs.

Application Process

Applying for Illinois grants involves a straightforward process. First, gather all necessary documents that prove your identity, income, and residency. This may include pay stubs, tax returns, and identification. Next, visit the relevant state agency's website or local office to access application forms. Many programs allow online submissions for convenience. Be sure to follow instructions carefully and provide accurate information. After submitting your application, monitor its status through the agency’s portal or by contacting them directly. Keep records of any correspondence to ensure you stay informed throughout the process.

THE RIGHT TO HAVE A CHILD

The U.S. Supreme Court declared procreation to be a fundamental right in response to coerced sterilization in the case Skinner v. Oklahoma State in 1942

Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, all insurance plans cover pregnancy, including prenatal care, inpatient services, postnatal care, and newborn care, but plans may vary.

Before ACA, pregnancy was considered a pre-condition and was not covered by most health insurance companies.

However, the U.S. is the only country among rich and developed nations not to provide paid parental leave.

With the over-medicalization of birthing and health insurance restrictions on birthing centers and at-home deliveries, women have to give birth in hospitals, which leads to an increase in non-vaginal births, increased post-cesarian surgery complications, increased difficulty breastfeeding, and higher postpartum depression rate.

Birthing in a hospital setting, which occurs around 95% of the time, increases risks of coercion and manipulation from obstetricians who create artificial conditions for the need for c-sections by inducing labor early and providing pain medicine which prevents individuals from delivering their baby slowly and vaginally.

Assisted Reproductive Technology is not covered by Medicaid, with the exceptions of New York and Illinois, which offer fertility medications and the storage of sperm and eggs for those facing fertility-inducing medical treatment, respectively.

About 35 states lack insurance coverage for some fertility treatments.

Stigma prevents people with disabilities or people at a socio-economic disadvantage from accessing fertility treatments. And reproductive health care

Transgender and non-binary individuals who live with a same-sex partner face even greater stigma and difficulties in accessing reproductive health care.

There is a tremendous lack of sex education for children and adolescents and a lack of free and confidential methods of contraception.

The American social infrastructure is gravely insufficient. It does not provide realistic economic opportunities for all families, equity in education and affordable child care, parental education, and safe and environmentally adequate neighborhoods.
