In a recent meeting of the Senate Health Care Committee, Senator Lee Beyer slammed Planned Parenthood’s opposition to a legislative proposal that would have required insurance providers to cover in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments for women who struggle with infertility. 

In response to a motion to send the bill to the Rules Committee (a common move to kill a bill), Beyer expressed his frustration with Planned Parenthood and Basic Rights Oregon who opposed the bill: “I am very frustrated by them, particularly Planned Parenthood in this thing. For years I have supported their claim that they are there to support women in being able to make a choice – make a choice on whether to have a family or choosing at any given time not to have a family. Unfortunately, what I have learned with their view here is that is a one-sided choice. It only seems to be to support not to have a family. And that frankly really disturbs me greatly.”

In what seemed to be a comment directed at other Democrat’s on the committee who bowed to the will of Planned Parenthood to kill the bill, Beyer continued: “I know people are afraid of the campaign support or not support that might be there, and that’s just reality around here… The losers in this are many of the 1 in 8 women who, we have been told by medical experts, experience infertility.”

Planned Parenthood gives nearly all campaign donations exclusively to Democrats who support abortion on demand.
