Shame on Congress for this!

This is another reason why we ALL must continue to urge Congress to enact legislation that makes access to IVF for servicemembers, veterans, and their dependents equitable and non-discriminatory.

Great point - we need people to contest local elections to bring out the policies of people as far off the norm as this woman below - if she and others like her can for office, so can you!

Check the webpage of your city and county clerks to get applications and deadline info
We need to send better people to Bismarck. And maybe that's you!

If you are interested in running, we want to hear from you!

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

By every measure, the US has the most expensive and inefficient healthcare system of any industrialized nation. Americans spend up to 2.5x’s as much, have the lowest life expectancy, 75 million are uninsured or underinsured, and US medical debt is over $220 billion! 🧵
