IVF Can Make Dreams Come True

Angie shares her IVF story

When Angie’s chances of conceiving with her own eggs were below 10%, she found hope through a donor embryo program. Without IVF, her dream of motherhood wouldn't have come true.

IVF can be difficult physically and emotionally. It’s also very expensive, and often not covered by insurance. Anyone who goes through IVF really wants to have a child – and no lawmaker should deny them that. But unfortunately, that’s what were’s seeing.

Extremists at the state and federal level aren’t stopping at abortion.

For example:

  • 125 Republicans in the U.S. House, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, are sponsors of the Life at Conception Act, which seeks to recognize a fertilized egg as a person and would severely restrict or outlaw IVF.

  • U.S. Senate Republicans blocked Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s bill to federally protect IVF.

  • Members of the Freedom Caucus in the House called IVF “morally reprehensible” after the Veterans Administration added protections for IVF services to military and veteran families.

  • In an unprecedented ruling, Alabama’s Supreme Court has ruled that frozen embryos are “children” and destroying them can bring wrongful death charges.

We know that 86% of Americans support keeping IVF legal. Tell your friends & families about the attack on our rights.

No matter what politicians say, they are trying to take away IVF. Wherever you live, if you have extremists in your state government, your rights are at risk right now. If Republicans gain control of the federal government, ALL of our rights are at risk.

People like Angie who want to grow their families deserve that opportunity.

Join us in telling politicians who are coming for our rights that we are coming for their jobs!
