Iowa:
The Iowa House passed a personhood bill last week that would negatively impact the family building community. HF 2575 would provide criminal penalties for death or serious injury to an “unborn person,” defined “as an individual organism of the species homo sapiens from fertilization to live birth". This threatening bill now heads to the Senate, where we must stop it. Send this letter now to your State Senator. Let them know this legislation would interfere with infertility medical treatments and harm Iowans like you who are trying to build their families with IVF. Send your letter now.
Minnesota:
This important legislation would add Minnesota to the list of states that support individuals and families unable to have a baby on their own. It requires private health plans as well as Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare to provide coverage for infertility treatments (including IVF), to provide standard fertility preservation services for those at risk of medically-induced infertility (like cancer patients), and to include these benefits for LGBTQ+ enrollees. Send a letter to your Representative today.
Wisconsin:
State Senator Kelda Roys and State Representative Jodi Emerson have introduced the Wisconsin Building Families Act which recognizes infertility as a disease, expands access, and removes economic barriers to fertility treatments. Please help us encourage all state legislators to add their name in support by reaching out to your own elected leaders.
