State Rep. Elaine Nekritz poses for a portrait Wednesday, April 2, 2014, in Springfield, Ill. Nekritz recently proposed a bill in the Illinois legislature to raise awareness of cytomegalovirus, or CMV, a virus that can cause brain damage and other birth defects when women inadvertently transmit the virus in utero. The bill failed to make it out of committee in part because of opposition from doctors who said it was attempting to legislate the practice of medicine. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson)
