They are joined by Jennifer Maas, founder of the Law Office of Jennifer P. Maas and Chair of the ASRM Legal Professionals Group, and Janene Oleaga, founder of Oleaga Law and a national leader in fertility and family-building advocacy. Together, they examine how recent legislative and political shifts are impacting LGBTQ+ patients' ability to access fertility care, abortion services and gender-affirming reproductive care. The conversation highlights how policies can disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, the growing influence of ideology on medical decision making, and the complexities of navigating a patchwork of state laws. Looking ahead, the episode also explores the role of advocacy in protecting and expanding reproductive autonomy, offering important context for clinicians, advocates, and patients alike.
