Quick signature: Tell Congress to protect access to IVF!

Sign Now to Protect Access to IVF!

Heartbroken. Ragey! And just down right fed up!

By a vote of 7-2 the Alabama Supreme Court dangerously ruled that under state law frozen embryos are children and therefore, children and ‘unborn children’ are protected “equally” under the state’s Wrongful Death of a Minor law. Straight out of a dystopian novel. The ruling allows civil damages under state law, having major implications for abortion rights, contraception, and IVF fertility treatments in, and over time possibly beyond, Alabama. Right now, three major IVF providers in Alabama announced a pause on IVF services. Women and families who saved for years, emptied their retirement accounts, sold their homes, dealt with the emotional tolls of this process, and went through complicated medical procedures as part of their IVF treatment, are devastated.

Approximately 40% of people say they or someone they know has used fertility treatments. Let’s be clear - this attempt to restrict access to the full range of reproductive health care services, has wide ranging implications for individuals seeking fertility treatment, pregnant people, and those who love them. Anti-abortion zealots created this crisis and the cruelty is the point!

SIGN our letter to Congress calling on them to protect access to IVF and the full range of reproductive health care for families in Alabama and across the country!

Dear Member of Congress:

As one of over a million members of MomsRising, I am writing to ask you to protect access to IVF and the full range of reproductive health care for families in Alabama and across the country.

Approximately 40% of people say they or someone they know has used fertility treatments. By a vote of 7-2 the Alabama Supreme Court dangerously ruled that under state law frozen embryos are children and therefore, children and ‘unborn children’ are protected “equally” under the state’s Wrongful Death of a Minor law. This attempt to restrict access to the full range of reproductive health care services, has wide ranging implications for individuals seeking fertility treatment, pregnant people, and those who love them.

Since the Dobbs ruling, women have lost access to reproductive health care, including abortion; clinics that provide contraception and cancer screenings have closed; a woman in Ohio was prosecuted after having a miscarriage for not disposing of the remains properly (thankfully the grand jury declined to bring charges against her); medication abortion is under attack; and several states are threatening bans on travel to get abortion care. And now Alabama is attacking IVF treatments.

We urge you to take action NOW to protect our reproductive health care, including IVF.

Sincerely,
