Tell Congress: Protect IVF for Military Families Before It’s Too Late

New reports show House Speaker Mike Johnson is quietly working to strip IVF coverage for military families from the National Defense Authorization Act — even though both chambers initially supported expanding access.

Sen. Patty Murray blasted Johnson for “betraying” military families and breaking Trump’s promise to protect IVF. MS NOW reports he’s negotiating in secret to kill the provision, and Axios notes how essential fertility care is for service members facing deployment-related infertility. 

The NDAA is being finalized right now. If Johnson gets his way, thousands of military families will lose their only realistic path to having children.

Public pressure can stop this. Lawmakers move when voters demand it — and we have only days before the final vote.

Our troops serve us. They deserve the chance to build their families.

Thanks,
Mary
