U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) told "Fox News Sunday" host Shannon Bream on Sunday that Democrats were using "scare tactics" regarding IVF and other hot-topic issues.
"Look, there's been no stronger supporter of IVF than President Trump," Britt said after Bream asked her how Republicans would win over voters on the issue.
"If you think about the situation that occurred in Alabama, President Trump came out immediately and said that he strongly supported IVF, and he encouraged the Alabama legislature to act," she said.
"They acted within six days of that, Shannon, and our Republican legislature and our Republican governor signed IVF protection into law," the senator added.
Britt said Republican senators are voicing support for nationwide access to IVF despite Democrat claims.
"The truth is, Democrats continue to use this issue as a scare tactic because IVF is legal and accessible in all 50 states, and President Trump has made it perfectly clear that he'll continue to make sure that that's the case," said Britt.
When asked why she didn't sign a Democrat IVF bill, Britt said it went too far.
"That bill extended into human cloning," she said. "That bill did not protect religious freedom – something that we have agreed is a bipartisan issue of something we do consistently. This time, they chose to rip that out."
"There's been probably no more vocal supporter outside of President Trump than myself when it comes to making sure we have nationwide access to IVF," Britt added.
