Scott and all but two Republican senators have blocked legislation on IVF. Yet he spent seven figures this week on an ad that specifically talks about how he supports the procedure

A Republican Senator has spent seven figures on a campaign ad touting his support for in vitro fertilization — despite the fact that on Thursday, he voted against legislation that would have protected access to treatments.

Senator Rick Scott of Florida is running for re-election in Florida. He faces a somewhat competitive race against former Democratic congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell.

On Friday, he announced an ad touting his support and his personal connection to IVF. In the ad, he notes how he is a grandfather of seven grandchildren.

“But sometimes families need help,” he said. “Millions of babies have come into this world through IVF, in vitro fertilization. In fact, our youngest daughter is receiving IVF treatments right now hoping to expand her family.”...........

1. Yup, the election is coming and the decripit right is angling any way they can to assure you that they are on your side.

Think you’ve heard enough lies on the media already? It’s just beginning. And just like that, Republicans running for election will become friends of the common man, caring about your needs, troubles, and general welfare. That is, until(God forbid) they win, at which point the common man returns to the status of dog shit, and the praise for the wealthy and all that could benefit them renews.

It’s almost predictable. I’ve already read on DU about how Repubs plan to appear supportive of IVF, abortion, et al. What a pathetic group of losers.

I have never feared more for our future.

2. Ah, yes, the republican politican, as usual, speaking out of both sides of his mouth.

They f'ing lie all the time. Such fine, up standing people.
