This cruel decision is not only flagrantly anti-science, it is a devastating blow to the 1 in 6 families who experience fertility challenges and depend on medical advancements like IVF to have the children they desperately want.

Already, 125 House Republicans have sponsored a “life at conception” bill without an IVF exception. My opponent, Nick LaLota, is a member of the far right Republican Study Commission that supports this bill.

The “life at conception” bill is an alarming signal of how far Republicans are willing to go, and a stark reminder that this will not stop with banning abortion or making IVF impossible to perform – and it will certainly not stop with Alabama.

I’m running for Congress to defend reproductive freedom for all – whether it’s your right to access abortion, your right to fertility treatments like IVF, or even your right to contraception.

To protect women’s rights, we have to take back the House majority, and the path to flipping the House runs through Long Island. Can I count on your support with a contribution of $50, $25, or $10 now? You can give directly here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/goroff-for-congress

Immediately after the Alabama ruling, three fertility clinics shut down their services to avoid legal liability – including the clinic at the University of Alabama Birmingham, the largest in the state.

My heart is broken for these couples who have seen their dream of starting a family suddenly shattered by this cruel decision.

Congress must act urgently to protect all reproductive rights – and that is what I will fight for when elected.

Thank you,

Nancy
