            IN HONOR OF NATIONAL INFERTILITY AWARENESS WEEK

  (Mrs. CHERFILUS-McCORMICK asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. CHERFILUS-McCORMICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of 
Florida's 20th Congressional District to recognize the necessary work 
of the National Infertility Association in honor of National 
Infertility Awareness Week. This week brings together millions of 
Americans who want to remove the stigma and the barriers that stand in 
the way of building families.
  Mr. Speaker, one in eight couples have trouble getting pregnant or 
sustaining pregnancies, and many more people face barriers to building 
a family. Through national media, social media, and fundraising, the 
infertility community will take action to increase awareness of 
infertility in order to remove stigmas and improve access to healthy 
family-building options.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope we do the same thing for infertility issues like 
we did for the Affordable Insulin Act.
