David McCormick’s campaign won’t say if he would support Duckworth’s bill to protect IVF
After the Alabama Supreme Court’s controversial in-vitro fertilization (IVF) ruling, Pennsylvania Senate candidate David McCormick made a post on X saying he opposes any effort to restrict the procedure.
IVF is a ray of hope for millions of Americans seeking the blessing of children.
I oppose any effort to restrict it.

But according to a newsletter from Pittsburgh’s NPR station WESA, a spokesperson from McCormick’s campaign refused to directly answer whether the candidate would support Sen. Tamy Duckworth’s (D-IL) bill to protect IVF. In response to the question, the spokesperson said McCormick “will consider any legislation that protects this pro-family procedure.”
McCormick is vying for the seat currently held by Sen. Bob Casey (D), who first assumed office in 2007. McCormick gained an endorsement from Freedom Caucus member and “fellow wrestler” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) earlier this week.
Honored to receive the endorsement of fellow former wrestler, @Jim_Jordan!
Jim is a fearless leader in Congress and I’m grateful for his support. https://t.co/Cg0kTtFFJQ pic.twitter.com/GVslybOcnk
