In a dramatically one-sided story for Friday’s CBS This Morning, correspondent Jan Crawford decried: “You know, these stories are heartbreaking. These veterans have sacrificed almost everything for our country and now they have these life-changing injuries that prevent them from having children naturally....The VA can't help because conservatives in Congress 23 years ago passed a law blocking it from paying the costs of IVF [in vitro fertilization] treatments for veterans.”

The report featured Democratic Senator Patty Murray condemning the GOP: “It's just – it’s appalling....I'm so frustrated because it just seems like this is something that’s so common sense, so right, so what we as a country should be doing.”
