We can close our doors, take down the website, and put this cruel disease behind us. Awareness has reached people who may hold the highest office in this land. What more could we ask for? Read more.

Welcome to the new Blog for the Center for Infertility Justice! We are thrilled to be launching this new blog and hope you come back and visit often.

Our goal with this blog is to update you on federal and state legislation, policy issues, research, and news that is important to the entire infertility community. We know of no other blog that exists for the sole purpose of examining the legislative and policy issues impacting our community today. For many years RESOLVE has served as the key patient organization in the U.S. working to improve access to care for all family building options. In the past few years, RESOLVE has been the leader in fighting anti-family legislation in any state that introduces it. And today, we are working to pass the Family Act of 2011 in Congress. We are also tracking the progress of the Essential Health Benefits package and fighting dangerous ballot initiatives such as Initiative 26 in Mississippi. Read post.
