Hi John, I would like to share something very personal.

It’s only with the help of IVF treatments that my wife Mary El and I were able to have our much-wanted, much-loved, youngest son.

We are incredibly grateful to the staff at the Assisted Reproductive Technology Institute at Walter Reed for helping bring Philip into our lives. The journey with infertility can be a long and painful one. For many families, IVF is one of the last options for having a baby.

But now, this vital medical service is at risk. A court case in Alabama resulted in IVF treatment centers shutting down in that state and Republicans in the Senate are blocking legislation that would protect IVF services across the nation.

It is infuriating, John, that Republicans continue to chip away at our freedoms, including the freedom to have a child.

This is yet another example of why there’s no space for clueless politicians to be in the doctor’s examination room.

As a physician myself, I strongly believe that reproductive health care decisions should be between a patient and a doctor. In Congress, I will support legislation to codify IVF federal protections and protect *ALL* reproductive freedoms.

Reproductive healthcare is bound to be a tough battle. But I’m a 25-year U.S. Army veteran, I know tough battles.

And you better believe, if I'm elected to the U.S. Congress, I will fight every single day to protect reproductive health care and rights.

If you’re in this fight with me, please pitch in a donation of $20.24 to mobilize and organize every corner of my critical swing district (the only tossup district in Maryland).

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world.

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits.

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
