Bill > HR916

This resolution recognizes April 20 through 26, 2025, as National Infertility Awareness Week, highlighting the significant challenge of infertility that affects approximately one in six individuals worldwide. The resolution provides context about the declining U.S. fertility rate and emphasizes that infertility impacts people across all backgrounds and communities. It notes that individuals facing infertility have various options, including fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF), adoption, and donor conception, and points out that in 2021, around 85,000 U.S. infants were born through IVF. The resolution also acknowledges the historical significance of National Infertility Awareness Week, which was established in 1989 to unite people in improving outcomes for families affected by infertility and to recognize the medical professionals who contribute to reproductive medicine. By officially recognizing this week, the Texas House of Representatives aims to encourage all Texans to learn more about infertility, raise awareness about available resources and services, and support those experiencing challenges in achieving pregnancy.
