'I’m shocked and disappointed that the VA is denying me and other veterans IVF benefits because we’re in same-sex marriages,' Ashley Sheffield said in a statement.
An Air Force veteran of nearly 20 years has filed a class action lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs alleging she was denied reproductive services because she is married to a woman.
“Like so many LGBTQ service veterans, I honorably served in the Armed Forces and I earned the health benefits that millions of veterans enjoy," Sheffield said in a statement."I’m shocked and disappointed that the VA is denying me and other veterans IVF benefits because we’re in same-sex marriages. We are entitled to equal treatment and we should no longer be treated as second-class citizens.
