Republican Representative Matt Rosendale has proposed an amendment to defund in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, citing it as morally wrong and equating it to the destruction of life. This move has sparked backlash and debates over reproductive rights and the protection of human life. Despite initial intentions to target Trump's prosecutors, House Republicans did not include measures in the Justice Department funding bill to curtail special counsels, but they did manage to prevent the DOJ from relocating to a new FBI building. Rosendale's stance on IVF reflects a broader GOP agenda to potentially ban IVF if they gain full federal control, as seen in the defunding attempt for military families, showcasing a controversial and impactful policy direction within the party.
