'Chlamydia is more popular than Donald Trump': Former Michigan GOP operative

Democratic Senators led by U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) will ask unanimous consent on Wednesday to pass legislation to protect in-vitro fertilization (IVF), after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled frozen embryos are "children." Immediately following that ruling, some medical facilities that offer IVF services paused those practices over fear they could be prosecuted.
