Trump Pledges to Safeguard IVF Access and Make Treatment More Affordable for Women

Washington DC, August 30 :
former president Donald Trump has committed to pursue possibilities for public or private insurance coverage of in vitro fertilization (IVF) for American women who need it, and he has also promised to protect access to these treatments if re-elected.,

While speaking, Trump made the comments.

"We are going to be, under the Trump administration, we are going to be paying for that treatment," Trump stated, and then added, "We're going to be mandating that the insurance company pay."

Trump, according to NBC News' reporting, underlined that one option would be to have insurance companies pay "under a mandate, yes," when asked to clarify if the government or insurance companies would pay for in vitro fertilization services.

At the same time, Trump was singled out by Vice President Kamala Harris in an X post over abortion, who threatened to sign a ban on the procedure into law if Trump were to become president. "If Donald Trump wins, he will not only sign an abortion ban--he also intends to create a national anti-abortion coordinator, forcing states to report on women's miscarriages and abortions," Harris stated on Fox News.

"Over one-third of American women reside in states that have outlawed the procedure of having an abortion," she said in another post. Healthcare is in a state of emergency. The battle to safeguard the right to choose an abortion will continue indefinitely.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) and abortion rights continue to be hotly contested topics in American politics, particularly in the years following the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision of 2022, which reversed Roe v. Wade and set off a chain reaction of legislative fights at the state level. In the 2022 midterm elections, anti-abortion policies were criticized and several Republican candidates lost the election because of their views on the issue.

Republicans have been under increasing fire from Democrats in recent months over in vitro fertilization (IVF), with many claiming that curbs on abortion, spearheaded by Republicans, may inevitably lead to restrictions on IVF as well.
