Summary

Senator Tammy Duckworth joins us to discuss a topic hugely personal to many of our listeners: miscarriage and pregnancy loss. Sen. Duckworth describes the Support Through Loss Act, which would provide paid leave to those experiencing pregnancy loss, a failed adoption, or unsuccessful fertility treatments. She shares how her own experience with pregnancy loss makes the bill personal and why men need to be a bigger part of the conversation around miscarriage and mourning. Finally, she shares how the bill recognizes the many ways people become parents in 2021 while funding additional research into pregnancy loss. Learn more about your ad choices.
