This week, we are at a critical juncture as Congress reviews the discharge petition from Representative Susan Wild (D-PA) for the Access to Family Building Act. This monumental act aims to secure a legal right to assisted reproductive technology (ART), such as IVF, and empowers the Justice Department to challenge any state attempts to limit these essential services.
Your voice is powerful. Use this easy action alert to urge your elected officials to sign the petition and support the Access to Family Building Act.
What is the Access to Family Building Act?
- Empowers Your Right: Ensures you have the statutory right to access assisted reproductive technology, like IVF, without prohibitions or unreasonable restrictions.
- Protects Your Choices: Grants you the right to retain all decisions regarding the use or disposition of your reproductive genetic materials (e.g., eggs or sperm).
- Supports Providers and Insurers: Affirms the rights of health care providers to offer these services and insurers to cover them.
- Maintains Safety Standards: Respects state or local health and safety regulations that achieve their purpose in the least restrictive manner possible.
