Mike Johnson Doesn’t Want Military Members to Have Access to IVF “It’s disgraceful but not surprising that he is working behind the scenes to force servicemembers to suffer through infertility," Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wa.) said on Thursday.

Mike Johnson seems to be stepping in to do exactly what the administration has been working to do all along: restrict any and all reproductive health care
