What can you do? Listen to what the medical experts at The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). It is dedicated to the advancement of the science and practice of reproductive medicine. Call out the MAGA Christian extremists who are stealing women’s freedoms. Call your MAGA rep to demand they support the Access To Family Building Act.
“The choice to build a family is a fundamental right for all Americans, one that is at risk in light of the recent Alabama Supreme Court ruling. As a reproductive medicine provider and your constituent, I urge you to cosponsor and pass the Access to Family Building Act (S.3612/ H.R.7056) so that everyone can grow the family they choose.”
Doctor’s advice: Call your elected offical
Hold MAGA elected officials accountable
The choice to build a family is a fundamental right for all Americans. Contact your elected officials to cosponsor and demand that they pass the Access to Family Building Act (S.3612/ H.R.7056), which would protect IVF across the country. Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Patty Murray (D-WA) and Congresswoman Susan Wild (D-PA-7) introduced the Access to Family Building Act to ensure the right to build a family is upheld and remains protected, regardless of a person’s zip code. This bill would:
• Establishes a statutory right for an individual to access ART services, such as IVF, and for a healthcare provider to provide ART services
• Establishes an individual’s statutory right regarding the use or disposition of their reproductive genetic materials, including gametes
• Allows the Department of Justice to pursue civil action against any state, government official, individual or entity that violates protections in this Act
• Creates a private right of action for individuals and healthcare providers in states that have limited access to ART
American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM)
The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) is dedicated to the advancement of the science and practice of reproductive medicine. The Society accomplishes its mission through the pursuit of excellence in evidence-based, life-long education and learning, through the advancement and support of innovative research, through the development and dissemination of the highest ethical and quality standards in patient care, and through advocacy on behalf of physicians and affiliated healthcare providers and their patients.
Doctors have witnessed new challenges to our mission: misconceptions about the disease of infertility persist; unwarranted regulations of the practice of reproductive medicine are proposed; restrictions on third-party reproduction and compensation to egg or sperm donors are debated; and attempts have been made to define a fertilized egg as a person. All of these threats serve to illustrate the importance of our members becoming more actively involved in protecting the field of reproductive medicine. – ASRM Advocacy
Voter Voice
The ASRM created their call to action to protect IVF with Voter Voice, a grassroots advocacy tool to rally supporters, maximize campaigns, and make sure your message is amplified across all levels of government. It helps you build build advocacy campaigns based on chamber, committee, or district, or drill down by county, municipality, or school board. It automatically match advocates to the correct representatives to ensure their concerns are heard.
TakeAway: Hold your MAGA reps accountable for taking away women’s and couple’s RIGHT TO PARENT with IVF. Vote for President Biden and Democrats.
