Then-Delegate Neil Parrott opposed a bill mandating insurance coverage for IVF for same-sex couples.

He said it would create a "false sense of equality" for those couples.

Parrot is now the GOP nominee for Maryland 's 6th congressional district.

He says he supports IVF but was concerned about the fiscal impact of the bill.

A majority of House Republicans have cosponsored a "life at conception" bill.

The bill did not include any carveout for IVF .

Most Republicans have since moved to make clear that they support IVF , introducing bills to guarantee access to the procedure.

Roughly 2% of all births in the US come as the result of such treatments.
