Trump wants to pay for in-vivo fertilization if he’s president
The State of the Art and the Future of Reproductive Healthcare: A Donald Trump Addressed the Alabama Supreme Court in a NBC News Interview
In an interview with NBC, Trump stated he supports public funding for in-vivo fertilization or a mandate requiring insurance companies to cover it. The procedure to treat infertility can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
“We’re doing this because we just think it’s great. In an interview, Trump said that we need great children and beautiful children in our country.
The issue of access to instu dents was put to a vote earlier this year after the Alabama Supreme Court temporarily cut off access.
Last week, Trump wrote on Truth Social that he would be “great for women and their reproductive rights.” That statement drew criticism from some abortion rights opponents including his former vice president, Mike Pence. Trump also recently indicated in a CBS News interview that he would not use a 19th-century anti-obscenity law, the Comstock Act, to restrict abortion pills. That statement also drew pushback from some activists.
“I’m going to be voting that we need more than six weeks,” he told NBC News in the interview, before saying he favored exceptions in abortion law for the life of the mother, rape and incest.
Abortion is a key issue in this election, with Democrats warning voters that Republicans would further restrict access to reproductive healthcare if former Trump is elected.

This is the worst listeria outbreak in three years and nine people have died. The cases stem from contaminated Boar’s Head deli meat. The factory has recalled millions of pounds of products. The first recall was issued in July and linked to a ready-to-eat liverwurst product. It has expanded to dozens of products, including sausages and loaves, all of which were manufactured at the same Virginia plant.
