Sen. Rick Scott, a Florida Republican, has come under fire after voting to block legislation to establish a nationwide right to in vitro fertilization. Republicans on Tuesday once again blocked the Right to IVF Act, sponsored by Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth.

Democrats have said that Republicans who maintain they support IVF are being hypocritical by refusing to support legislation that guarantees a right to it.

"Rick Scott just voted NO to IVF protections—AGAIN. A fraud is always a fraud," Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, a former Democratic congresswoman who is running to unseat Scott in November, wrote on X. "Floridians know he's lying when he says he'll protect IVF, and he just proved it AGAIN. He's trying to con Floridians, and in November we're going to vote him out."

Scott faced similar backlash in June after releasing an ad touting his support for IVF hours after he first voted against the Right to IVF Act.
