Ep 73 Fighting to Protect IVF with Barbara Collura, Head of RESOLVE, Part 1

What does advocating for reproductive rights have to do with IVF? Surely people who want to have a baby wouldn't have to fight for that right in a post-Roe world?

Well, as it turns out, the reality is that the science behind IVF doesn't always mesh with the idea that life begins at conception.

This week, Dr. Lora Shahine welcomes Barb Collura, President and CEO of RESOLVE, the National Infertility Association dedicated to advocating for fertility treatments and ensuring that building a family is attainable for all.

In this episode, Barb shares her fertility journey, details the issues IVF and other reproductive rights are facing, and explains why fighting to protect IVF is necessary.

Many in the reproductive space saw the writing on the wall long ago. Here, Barb and Dr. Shahine break down how the overturning of Roe vs. Wade has threatened the process of IVF. They also discuss how Personhood Bills in various states end up impacting IVF — intentionally or unintentionally.

There is much more to the conversation between Barb Collura and Dr. Shahine, so make sure to come back for part two on the next episode of Baby or Bust!
