This week on "Redefining Family" Jonathan opens the episode by discussing the devastating overturn of Roe Vs. Wade and where we go from here.
He is then joined by Laura-Rose Thorogood. Laura-Rose Thorogood, the founder of the LGBT Mummies , which is an organization based in the UK but provides support worldwide for LGBTQ women wanting to start a family. Laura-Rose did not officially come out until she was 29 years old due to a lot of self-loathing and trying to understand her identity. After she met her wife, they decided to go on a fertility journey, which was difficult to say to least. She discusses their struggles with IVF as lesbians and how they powered through and went on to have five beautiful children.
Laura-Rose shares the struggles not only lesbians, but trans and non-binary individuals face, not only with fertility, but with discrimination in those areas as well.
