Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill that mandates large health insurance companies in California to cover in vitro fertilization, marking a victory for reproductive health advocates.
The new law also expands healthcare access for LGBTQ+ families by redefining infertility to include anyone unable to reproduce without medical help.
Newsom stated, 'California is a proud reproductive freedom state - and that includes increasing access to fertility services that help those who want to start a family.'
Conservative groups have increasingly opposed IVF due to ethical concerns about embryos, with organizations arguing that 'human life begins at conception.'
