Fantastic piece about the importance of accessibility and inclusion in reproductive healthcare, including IVF/fertility care...
I’m disabled and I did IVF recently, so this was a pretty personal piece for me. I’m grateful to @malloryweggeman and Jay Snyder for speaking to me about Watershed and for making the documentary in the first place. My latest @19thnews. 19thnews.org/2024/08/paralym…
