I want ads about this against every Republican running for reelection to the Senate, and I can't imagine those won't be forthcoming.
And by the way:
"This is the second time Republicans have blocked IVF legislation—the last time was in June."
So "[Name of Republican senator] says he is pro-family. But he voted against IVF twice. So if you need help conceiving, don't look to him. Instead, vote for [Democratic candidate]. She is the real pro-family candidate in this race. Supporting your family and your right to safely take care of your family and yourself. That's the Democratic way!"
This would particularly be helpful in the MO-SEN race where Lucas Kunce in a recent poll is trailing by 4% points! Newsweek has the story.

I’m going to post a blog on Daily Kos tomorrow about the race.
His winning would be an utter shock, but he sure has nothing to lose by trying this tack.
Agreed.
The MO-SEN Race may very well be the dark horse one for Democrats at this point. I'm impressed at how resilient Lucas Kunce and his campaign have become in not only outraising Senator Hawley but also chipping away at his lead.
Extremely dark horse. Pitch black.
