Please help our Veterans build their family

Through the Women Veterans and Families Health Services Act, veterans have a chance at the family they always dreamed of. For many wounded veterans, assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF may be their only hope of ever having a biological child with their spouse/partner.

Please help our Veterans build their family

Dear [Decision Maker],

As your constituent I care about the needs of people with infertility, especially those who have infertility as a result of an injury or illness they sustained while serving in our armed forces. In addition, we are not doing enough to preserve the fertility of our service men and women before they are deployed. We can do better; which is why I urge you to co-sponsor S 469.

S 469, the Women Veterans and Families Health Services Act of 2015, would allow the Veterans Administration to offer in vitro fertilization (IVF), the gold standard of medical care for severe cases of infertility.  By providing this coverage, veterans have a chance at the family they always dreamed of. For many wounded veterans, assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF may be their only hope of ever having a biological child. IVF has been practiced for over 30 years and is a safe and effective treatment for many types of infertility that cannot be treated with medication or surgical procedures. In recent years, professional guidelines have made IVF even safer and more effective through reducing the incidence of multiple births, improving egg and embryo freezing technologies, and improving pregnancy rates through embryo quality. In addition, freezing of eggs and sperm is safe and effective, and can give our service members who do this before deployment the chance at parenthood should they become injured or disabled.

Our wounded veterans deserve access to the best medical care that is available for their medical condition, and this bill will do just that. So much has been taken away from our wounded veterans; don't take away their dream of having a child, especially when medical treatment exists to help them. Please co-sponsor S 469 and show our Veterans that we care about them!

Sincerely,
