Women’s Reproductive Health Shouldn’t Be a Partisan Issue The topic of infertility has received unprecedented attention in national politics since February, when the Alabama Supreme Court held that for the purposes of the state’s wrongful death of a minor statute, frozen embryos are considered persons. Until now, Congress has focused primarily on in vitro fertilization—where egg and sperm are combined to create an embryo in a lab. For many couples, however, one or both persons have suffered many years with reproductive health conditions, which are the leading cause of infertility. On June 13, Republican Sens. Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi and James Lankford of Oklahoma introduced the Reproductive Empowerment and Support Through Optimal Restoration Act, which aims to ensure that women (and their doctors) have the tools they need to understand their reproductive health conditions. The RESTORE Act offers a dual approach to reproductive health care in the United States. First, given the lack of research and information about restorative reproductive medicine treatments, the legislation directs the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health to conduct research and provide ongoing reports on the use and effectiveness of restorative reproductive medicine to treat reproductive health conditions and infertility. https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/06/25/womens-reproductive-health-shouldnt-be-partisan-issue/
