In light of the Supreme Court's disappointing and discriminatory ruling upholding bans on transgender student athletes in West Virginia v. BPJ today, we uplift this factsheet on biological sex from the Center for Policy and Leadership. ⬇️ www.asrm.org/advocacy-and...

Dr. Ryniec reminding us why it's vital that lawmakers 1. Seek out the knowledge of reproductive medicine experts, and 2. Avoid interfering in the patient-provider relationship. ⬇️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVcX...

As Pride Month comes to an end, we’re proud to highlight members of ASRM’s LGBTQ+ community as they share what their identities mean to them, how their lived experiences shape their work, and why representation matters in the care we provide. 🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🚨 TEXAS MEMBERS: The Senate Health and Human Services Committee will meet on July 8 to hear testimony related to banning the use of gestational carriers. Please use this easy Action Alert to urge committee members not to restrict this essential form of ART: asrm.quorum.us/campaign/165...

"The concept of fetal or embryonic 'personhood' under the law is not new. However, since the Dobbs decision, these attacks have dramatically increased." www.aclu.org/news/reprodu...

It's been 4 years since the #Dobbs decision & abortion is still severely restricted across the US—with 13 states currently banning care entirely. Advocates & policymakers must champion a bold vision of access that goes beyond Roe, rooted in evidence & human rights to guarantee access for all.

Patients and providers deserve better than this. We're fighting for a future where everyone can access the care they need. 💜 And let's be clear: Roe was never enough. People were already facing barriers to abortion care long before Dobbs.

11,800+. That’s how many calls we’ve answered since Dobbs. Each one is a person navigating fear, bad info, or a legal hurdle for their pregnancy, abortion, birth, or parenting.

Four years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court wrongly struck down Roe v. Wade. While some states have since criminalized abortion providers & their patients, others have protected their citizens with legislation guaranteeing their reproductive freedom 👉 bit.ly/4eI1bzF

"[Dr. Amato] said it’s shameful that Oregon, where lawmakers passed a broad bill requiring coverage of abortions and contraception in 2017, lacks laws to help people pay for medical treatment to have a baby. 'It's a justice issue to me,' Amato said." www.thelundreport.org/content/thou...

“The Texas GOP now explicitly opposes IVF, saying they wish to ‘protect fetal life from destructive practices, such as IVF and commercial surrogacy.’ This stance on IVF goes against prominent Republican leaders, including President Donald Trump.” ⬇️ www.kxan.com/news/texas-p...

"The right to have (or not have) a family: Non-discriminatory, equitable access to IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies are vital for ensuring everyone who wants to be a parent can be." ⬇️ reproductiverights.org/news/taking-...

We appreciate Sen. Sullivan's interest in expanding IVF access and would welcome the opportunity to educate him on ASRM guidelines recommending single-embryo transfer and cryopreservation, best practices for successful pregnancies and healthy babies. www.lifenews.com/2026/06/16/g...

Access to care shouldn’t depend on your zip code.

Several theories have emerged around the falling global fertility rate and what can be done to restore it. Which are evidence-based and which are not? And, importantly, what is the difference between fertility decline and infertility? ⬇️ www.prb.org/resource/unp...

ASRM is devastated by the untimely passing of Kyle Busch. Busch and his wife, Samantha, were vocal advocates for infertility awareness, and Samantha continues this important work today. We extend our sincere condolences to Samantha, Brexton, Lennix, and the entire Busch family.

"'The first thing I would say, especially to patients, is fertility treatments are time sensitive. Do not delay your treatment thinking there’s going to be a benefit from this policy anytime soon,' Tipton said." www.cnn.com/2026/05/21/p...

"'While it’s an incremental step in the right direction, this is not what the president promised when he was running,' said Sean Tipton with ASRM. 'He said free accessible IVF for everyone. This policy is not going to achieve that.'" news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

When the FDA approved the first birth control pill in 1960, millions of people gained more control over their repro freedom. Now, with consistent attacks on repro health care, we must fight even harder to make birth control accessible, equitable, & available for whoever needs it.
