MICHIGAN SENATE
Senate Resolution No. 112
Offered by Senators Chang, Cavanagh, Geiss, Moss, Polehanki and Santana
A RESOLUTION TO DESIGNATE APRIL 19-26, 2026, AS INFERTILITY AWARENESS WEEK
WHEREAS, According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one in seven couples have trouble getting pregnant or sustaining a pregnancy; and
WHEREAS, The World Health Organization and American Medical Association define infertility as a disease; and
WHEREAS, Infertility affects women and men equally and does not discriminate based on race, religion, sexual orientation, marital status, or socioeconomic level; and
WHEREAS, The LGBTQ+ community also faces challenges when building their families; and
WHEREAS, All people challenged in their family-building journey should have access to all family-building options; and
WHEREAS, Such family-building options include adoption and medical treatment, like in vitro fertilization and third-party reproduction; and
WHEREAS, Cost and lack of insurance coverage are barriers for many in our state to access the family-building options that they need; and
WHEREAS, Racial and socioeconomic disparities exist among those accessing fertility care, so raising awareness of infertility and the barriers faced by the family-building community is the first step towards action; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED BY THE SENATE, That the members of this legislative body designate April 19-26, 2026, as Infertility Awareness Week; and be it further
RESOLVED, That we join the National Infertility Association, dedicated volunteers, health care professionals, and members of the infertility and family-building community by participating in this promotion.
Secretary of the Senate
Adopted by the Senate, April 22, 2026.
