HB 6617, An Act Promoting Equity in Coverage for Fertility Healthcare

The ACLU-CT believes that all people deserve equal access to reproductive health services, including fertility treatments. Every person should be able to choose whether or not to have children. But individual and systemic discrimination disproportionately prevents people from receiving fertility treatment because of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity. House Bill 6617 counters this injustice by expanding its definitions of infertility and fertility patient to include LGBTQ+ people.
