Trump confirms his support of IVF

Former President Donald Trump just made it abundantly clear that, if he wins the upcoming election, his administration will be a big supporter of in-vitro fertilization treatment (IVF).

Trump, according to the New York Post, clarified his position on the subject during an interview at the campaign rally that he held in Michigan on Thursday.

By coming out in support of IVF, Trump is undermining the narrative that has been pushed by the Democrats, which is that he and other Republicans will look to ban it.

As we will see, it was not Trump's only big policy announcement on the day.

"We want more babies"

Trump, during the interview, even went so far as to suggest that his administration would look to find ways for the government to pay for IVF procedures.

"Under the Trump administration, your government will pay for — or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for — all costs associated with IVF treatment," the former president said.

He added, "We want more babies, to put it very nicely. And for the same reason, we will also allow new parents to deduct major newborn expenses from their taxes."

IVF really became a big issue in February, when the Supreme Court of Alabama ruled that embryos in IVF procedures can be considered unborn children. This caused IVF clinics to halt the procedures for fear of legal repercussions.

Trump, at the time, immediately condemned the decision, and he argued that the Alabama legislature ought to take action to rectify the situation. It did.

There is more

Trump also, according to the Daily Mail, revealed a big policy decision regarding abortion.

Per the outlet:

Donald Trump signaled that he could vote to end Florida's six-week abortion ban when it comes up in a referendum later this year, as he continues his delicate dance around a key election issue.

The outlet goes on to quote Trump as saying, "Well, I do know, but I do want more than six weeks. I want more than six weeks."

He continued, "I think six weeks is a mistake. And I'll be expressing that soon, but I want more than six weeks. And in Florida, we have a six-week program, and that's what I believe that you're voting on, and I think it should be more than six weeks."

Trump also has made it clear that he is in favor of several exceptions to abortion bans.
