Like so many Americans, @SenDuckworth used IVF to form her family. She asks her fellow Senators “How could you vote for a nominee who supports those who believe that my doctor should be in prison?”
21% of LGBTQ+ folks planning to form families will do so via IVF. 63% of LGBTQ+ millennials are planning to form families through adoption, foster care, ART, and IVF. To be clear: The confirmation of #AmyConeyBarrett could pose a threat to our ability to form families.
#AmyConeyBarrett didn't tell the Senate about her support for an org that believes “that discarding of unused or frozen embryos created in the IVF process ought to be criminalized”. These extreme views could affect Americans’—and especially LGBTQ+ folks'—ability to form families.
PLUS: The right of LGBTQ+ people to access taxpayer-funded foster care and adoption services is on the #SCOTUS docket this fall too! Rushing her nomination through is WRONG!
