3. What's forced?

This is for couples and individuals - including LGBTQIA+ - who are making the choice to have children and need extra help for fertility treatments.

This also drops co-pays for birth control, which is a big Fucking deal and the opposite of forced birth. It makes birth control MORE accessible.

ETA: this is championed by a Dem. Conservatives don't like these measures because they offer fertility treatments to non-married couples as well as the queer community. They also oppose IVF funding either outright or with certain restrictions. I'm furious where you got the idea that any of this is forced birth.
