"This debate is not about whether we care about couples struggling with infertility. We do. We know that the deep desire to have a child and to build a family is basic human nature. House Bill 836 would dramatically restrict the ability of future legislators to enact common sense protection in an industry where profound ethical questions continue to emerge." (Rep. Charity Grimm Krupa (R - 51)
We're grateful to Rep. Grimm Krupa for her comments on the IVF "Wild West" bill this week, despite its passage through the House.
House Bill 836 seeks to prevent lawmakers from establishing reasonable safety standards and accountability measures for the multi-billion-dollar fertility industry. If successful, concerns surrounding embryo destruction, eugenic screening practices, scientific experimentation, and other ethical issues would be shielded from future oversight.
Please join us in praying that this bill does not advance any farther through the PA Senate. Visit
