Bill > HCR28

This resolution, a joint declaration by the Missouri House of Representatives and Senate, designates the last full week of April each year as "Infertility Awareness Week." This designation aims to increase public understanding of infertility, which is defined by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine as a disease or condition characterized by the inability to achieve a successful pregnancy, affecting millions of individuals and couples worldwide, with approximately 1 in 6 couples in the United States experiencing it. The resolution acknowledges the significant emotional, physical, and financial burdens infertility places on individuals and families, and highlights the importance of raising awareness to reduce stigma, foster support, and promote equitable access to fertility treatments and family-building options, emphasizing the critical role of research, education, and advocacy organizations in addressing barriers to care.
