Urge Your Senator to Protect IVF Access
The Alabama Supreme Court recently issued a radical ruling endangering access to in vitro fertilization (IVF). This cruel decision has plunged the state into legal and medical chaos as IVF services are halted, patients scramble to understand their treatment options, and families grapple with what the decision means for their futures.
This anti-family court ruling is the result of the decades-long campaign by Republican anti-abortion extremists to not only overturn Roe vs. Wade, but to also ban contraception, IVF, gender-affirming care, marriage equality, and more. They must be stopped.
We need to pass the Access to Family Building Act, a bill introduced by Sen. Tammy Duckworth that would create a federal right to IVF and related services and protect patients and doctors from being criminalized for trying to start or grow a family. Specifically, the bill would:
- Establish a statutory right to access assisted reproductive technology services, such as IVF, without government interference
- Establish a patient’s right to have control over their own reproductive genetic materials, including their embryos
- Allow enforcement by the Department of Justice or through a private right of action for individuals and doctors
Reproductive freedom means the power to decide for yourself whether, when, and how to build a family. This shouldn’t be controversial. But MAGA Republicans love to weaponize the judiciary to change policies that would be too unpopular to enact through the legislative process, and that’s what happened in Alabama.

Cosponsor and call for a vote on the Access to Family Building Act to protect IVF
Hello, I’m a constituent from [part of state], and I’m calling to urge Senator [Name] to cosponsor the Access to Family Building Act and demand it receive a vote.
The Alabama court ruling on IVF shows we need federal protection for the right to access IVF and other services that help people start or grow a family. The Access to Family Building Act would do that and protect families and doctors from criminalization. Will the Senator sign onto this bill and publicly call for a vote on it?
Thank you for taking action for reproductive freedom! Tell all your friends to call as well!
