“I think anything the District is doing right now has the potential for Congress to meddle,” Henderson said in an interview Friday. “But I’m hopeful that [they don’t] because … it is very hard to be engaged with people and not know someone who has had to use help in order to start their family, including in Republican circles.”
Eric A. Widra, medical director at D.C. area-based Shady Grove Fertility, one of the largest fertility practices in the nation, and a board member “Patients who have already been given a diagnosis of infertility have to then digest the double blow of not being able to have kids without intervention and then not being able to pay for it,” he said. “They are just devastated.”Martin Cadogan, the executive director of a D.C.-based education nonprofit who unsuccessfully sought infertility coverage for her employees, recalled breaking down as she shared her struggles for a healthy pregnancy with her friend Henderson, a mother herself.
