The ongoing controversy over Planned Parenthood’s fetal-tissue practices has temporarily killed a bill that would have helped military veterans receive fertility treatments and counseling.
Democrat Sen. Patty Murray from Washington State abruptly pulled her bill from the Senate Veteran’s Affairs Committee after her Republican counterpart Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina proposed some amendments to the bill, Washington Post reported.
The Women Veterans and Families Health Services Act of 2015, introduced by Senator Murray last February, is a bipartisan bill that offers “fertility treatment and counseling, including through the use of assisted reproductive technology, to a spouse, partner, or gestational surrogate of a severely wounded, ill, or injured member of the Armed Forces who has an infertility condition incurred or aggravated while serving on active duty in the Armed Forces.”
