Montana’s senators split Thursday on a Democratic-backed bill to establish federal protections for in vitro fertilization.
U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, a Democrat, voted in favor of the legislation, which earned 48 votes. Republican Sen. Steve Daines was one of 47 senators to oppose the legislation.
To go to the Senate floor for passage, the bill needed 60 votes of support.
