Senate Democrats are daring President Donald Trump, the self-proclaimed “father” of in vitro fertilization, to support their bill protecting access to fertility treatments.

“This is his chance to get on board, right?” Sen. Tammy Duckworth said. “Let’s make sure that we continue to enshrine Americans’ rights to access assisted reproductive technology. It’s that simple.”

“I’m giving him an opportunity; he should back it,” Duckworth continued.
