Ep. 129: Is the RESTORE Act good for women?

In June 2024, a new bill was proposed called the RESTORE Act (or The Reproductive Empowerment and Support through Optimal Restoration Act). Politics aside, what does this bill say and could it be helpful for the real women facing reproductive health challenges in the United States? This episode reviews the goals of the bill and whether or not it could be helpful to women and couples. It wants to redefine the definition of infertility, change education for medical professionals, and study the impact of direct-to-women education. Are these helpful or hurtful? Let's explore together. Here's a link to read the bill for yourself.  NOTE: This episode does include terminology like intercourse and may not be appropriate for all audiences. Love the content?
