Politics and reproductive rights ft. Rochelle Garza

Dr. Natalie Crawford chats reproductive rights with civil rights advocate and Attorney General of Texas candidate Rochelle Garza. They discuss bodily autonomy, why the Attorney General’s role is crucial for reproductive health, and why winning this race will be a game changer for protecting civil rights. All your civil rights are on the line in this election, so make sure you have a plan and go out and vote.    In this week’s Fertility in the News, Natalie discusses reproductive rights, including IVF and how politicians who outwardly oppose IVF are willing to have restrictions. If we allow restrictions, IVF will be harder to access, less successful, and more expensive.    Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. What can short periods mean in your 20s? Is PGT testing worth the risk? Does being underweight affect your fertility? When do you stop trying?   Don't forget to ask your questions on Instagram for next week’s For Fertility’s Sake segment when you see the question box on Natalie’s page @nataliecrawfordmd.
