Duckworth State of the Union Address guest is fertility and IVF doctor--March 7
US Senator Tammy Duckworth’s guest at this week’s State of the Union is a fertility and IVF doctor.
Duckworth is bringing her to highlight her and other Democrats’ efforts to federally protect IVF access after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that embryos created through IVF should be considered children.
Duckworth used IVF to have her daughter.
Her bill to bring federal protections for fertility treatments was blocked from a vote on the Senate floor by a Republican Senator from Mississippi.
