IVF is responsible for about 84,000 babies annually, including those born to military families who wanted to delay pregnancy during deployments or people undergoing cancer treatments, according to the CDC. IVF has become a commonly-used process by which people get pregnant, and about 2% of all babies born in the US are conceived through IVF or another form of assisted reproductive therapy. Democratic senators are trying to legally protect the right to use in vitro fertilization after the fall of Roe v. Wade. Without a federal mandate to protect IVF, states could be free to ban it using some of the same justifications as abortion. #ivf #pregnancy
