Reproductive rights are under attack — we must protect our medical privacy at all costs

Last year, I got pregnant with twins. It's hard to write that, because twins implies two babies, and I have none.

After struggling for years with fertility, I became pregnant through in vitro fertilization (IVF). Unlike the experiences of many couples on social media, my husband and I were never overly excited. We maintained what can be described only as a slightly anxious and stressful optimism. We told very few people. My mother-in-law made a pilgrimage to a temple in India. My mother, sister and I prayed.
