Republican opposition to IVF is terrifying. But it should not surprise us.
Trump set the stage for this when he stacked the Supreme Court with justices who overturned Roe v. Wade. Since then, Republicans have been doing everything they can to control our bodies, and put doctors and IVF clinics in legal jeopardy if they provide care.
Who is affected by these decisions on IVF access? Families who have been wanting and praying to start a family. Women who have been injecting themselves for weeks, months, or years to try to have a baby. Parents who have spent an entire life’s savings to become pregnant. LGBTQ families who have spent years breaking down every obstacle in front of them are a family. People who are on their last hope.
The American people want reproductive freedom. We want to support parents, and we want to support people’s decision on if and when they want to become a parent. It’s their choice to decide, not the government’s.
I won’t stop fighting for everyone’s right to make that choice. And I won’t stop fighting to secure the Congress we need to pass legislation that will protect reproductive freedom across the country. If you believe in this fight, please pitch in $28 or anything you can to make this work possible.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
