   Providing the sense of the House of Representatives that in vitro 
    fertilization (IVF) is necessary for women who cannot conceive 
                   naturally, and for other purposes.

Whereas, infertility presents a significant challenge for women across the 
        nation, affecting their ability to conceive and realize their 
        aspirations of parenthood;
Whereas, CDC reports that roughly 19 percent of women deal with infertility;
Whereas, advancements in medical science have led to the emergence of in vitro 
        fertilization (IVF), providing hope and options for those grappling with 
        infertility;
Whereas, IVF has proven to be a widely embraced and effective solution for 
        couples contending with infertility, affording them the opportunity to 
        establish families and experience the blessings of parenthood; and
Whereas, the Columbia University Fertility Center reports over 8 million babies 
        have been born through IVF: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) strongly supports the access to and use of IVF 
        treatments across the United States;
            (2) remains committed to commonsense policies that enable 4 
        families to grow and thrive; and
            (3) recognizes the fundamental truth that life is precious.
