Cautiously optimistic about the Trump Administration’s Executive Order Expanding IVF, but concerned it’s just another way to determine who gets a family.
Absolutely no confidence this administration will do anything to benefit everyone who wants to start a family. If they do ease access to IVF, it will be only for straight white Christian married couples.
Incredibly unhopeful and honestly bummed when people tell me to take this as a "win"! Nothing legal here, just some words that might give some people hope that he's following a campaign promise. In this current climate, there is no way that this administration would want to extend access to anyone that isn't straight, white, cis, citizens etc. I appreciated Tammy Duckworth asking Congress to step up and vote to preserve IVF; if there's truly a political will, then let's see it in meaningful and legally enforceable laws! But I think she called their bluff. I will instead find my hope in federal judges that are standing up to this administration's harmful policies.

I agree. I am trying so hard to be optimistic because maintaining vigilance in the face of fascism is getting exhausting.
