Defeat Personhood

"Personhood" is a term that describes a legal and legislative agenda led by the anti-choice movement in an effort to end abortion by assigning the rights of personhood status to human embryos and fertilized eggs.

However, by defining life at conception or fertilization, personhood threatens the practice of IVF, thus affecting any person who needs medical intervention — infertile, LGBT, and/or single — to become a parent.

Personhood legislation is harmful to the infertility community. I oppose any and all personhood legislation and actively advocate against it. I post news, updates, and community mobilization efforts in support of this belief.

I support similar personhood opposition position statements made by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists(ACOG) and RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. You are more than welcome here if you are pro-personhood and/or anti-choice and you must respect that we will have to agree to disagree.
