The 2025 Senate Joint Resolution 56, introduced by a group of Wisconsin senators and representatives, aims to proclaim April 20 to 26, 2025, as National Infertility Awareness Week in Wisconsin. The resolution highlights the significant issue of infertility, which affects one in six individuals according to the World Health Organization, and recognizes it as a disease that impacts both men and women regardless of their background. It emphasizes the importance of access to family-building options, including adoption and medical treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF), while acknowledging the barriers posed by costs and lack of insurance coverage.

Furthermore, the resolution affirms the legal rights of individuals facing infertility to access fertility treatments and rejects the concept of personhood for embryos and fetuses, which could hinder access to such treatments. By joining forces with RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association and other stakeholders, the Wisconsin Legislature aims to raise awareness about infertility and the challenges faced by those seeking to build their families, ultimately advocating for the removal of barriers to these essential services.
