During a recent interview on Good Morning America, Dr. Nancy Snyderman (who is NOT a specialist in the field of reproductive medicine) made the following comment when asked about women who have a difficult time affording the expensive drugs needed for assisted reproductive techniques:

Well, this is--this is sort of the dicey part. Perhaps not every woman is supposed to be fertile. I know people don't want to hear that. But if, in fact, this is an expensive course, and it is, should insurance companies pay for something that is not medically necessary, or should we alter the medical system to say, 'Yes, you should have the right to have a baby, therefore insurance companies should pay'? I don't think they're going to pony up anytime soon, because it is a very big pricetag.

Please sign this petition, which will be sent to Good Morning America, ABC and Disney. We would like the powers that be to re-address this issue, with an expert in the field of reproductive medicine and for Dr. Snyderman to apologize for her ignorant, off the cuff comments. Its comments like these that reflect the ignorance surrounding infertility and its treatment, and most importantly the need for legislation to help the innumerable couples that are afflicted with this disease. Wed like GMA to call attention to the FAITH Act, which would make coverage for infertility treatment available, and urge for public support of this important legislation. In addition, by signing this petition, you are saying that you will choose not to watch Good Morning America until amends are made for this horrendous and heinous error in judgment on their part, as well as Dr. Nancy Snyderman.
