“…Interestingly, those who self-identified as religious were more likely to support fertility preservation and more likely to prefer the term "disease" and least likely to prefer "disability." While certain religious groups may be more likely to feel that ART is a violation of their religious beliefs [29], people who consider themselves more religious may also place more importance on the ability to have children in the future [30]. Although participants who had more liberal political views were no more likely to prefer the labels "disease" or "disability" than those with more conservative political views, they were more likely to support infertility treatment coverage.…”

Purpose To assess public attitudes towards fertility treatment coverage and whether attitudes are influenced by infertility labels. Methods Cross-sectional, web survey-based experiment using a national sample of 1226 United States adults. Participants read identical descriptions about infertility, with the exception of random assignment to infertility being labeled as a "condition," "disease," or "disability." Participants then responded to questions measuring their beliefs and attitudes towards policies related to the diagnosis and treatment of infertility. We measured public support for infertility policies, public preference for infertility labels, and whether support differed by the randomly assigned label used. We also queried associations between demographic data and support for infertility policies. Results Support was higher for insurance coverage of infertility treatments (p=.014) and fertility preservation (p=.017), and infertility public assistance programs (p=.036) when infertility was described as a "disease" or "disability" compared to "condition." Participants who were younger, were planning or trying to conceive, had a family member or friend with infertility, and/ or had a more liberal political outlook were more likely to support infertility policies. A majority of participants (78%) felt the term "condition" was the best label to describe infertility, followed by "disability" (12%). The least popular label was "disease" (10%). Those preferring "condition" were older (p<.001), more likely to be non-Hispanic White (p=.046), and less likely to have an infertility diagnosis (p<.001). Conclusion While less commonly identified as the best descriptors of infertility, labeling infertility as a "disease" or "disability" may increase support for policies that improve access to infertility care Keywords Survey .

“…Racial minorities often have a higher need for fertility treatment yet are much less likely to use IVF treatment. Furthermore, Black women are three times more likely to discontinue IVF treatment than White women regardless of income or insurance coverage ( 21 , 22 ), perhaps because many Black participants believe that their physician does not understand their cultural background (42.3% Black vs. 16.5% White participants, P <.0001) ( 23 ). Persistent disparate outcomes may also be explained by provider bias and gate-keeping experienced by racial minorities ( 19 ).…”

The analysis for this report was based on a study of the potential economic effects of an abortion ban in the United States in 2022. This time, by focused mostly on researching how the abortion restriction affected the female group, how the female group affected economic development, and how well the abortion ban affected that development. There are three models in total—two AD-AS models and one Phillips curve model—were employed in this investigation. According to the whole research, the adoption of the abortion ban would result in economic fluctuations and, ultimately, bad impacts. Overall, there are three detrimental effects on the American economy: the higher expense of pregnancy reduces purchasing power; the loss of human capital from illness and death; and the imbalance of gender equality at work increases unemployment. The analysis's concluding finding is that the United States experience with abortion is a barrier to its economic growth.
