Republicans voted against IVF protections in June, including Trump\'s running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance.
In multiple instances on Thursday, former President Donald Trump indicated that, if elected president again, he would require the government to pay for in vitro fertilization treatments to anyone seeking the procedure.
Trump didn’t make clear which option specifically he would supposedly back — having the government pay for IVF treatments or requiring insurance companies to cover them.
In response to the negative national attention and condemnation from constituents across the state, the Alabama state legislature passed a bill giving immunity protections to IVF clinics, with Gov. Kay Ivey signing the bill into law shortly after. Trump’s promise for free IVF treatments under his administration this week could create a divide amongst Republicans. It will undoubtedly cause the most extreme anti-abortionists to reconsider giving their full support to him, for example, but his words could also cause a rift in the party from an economic standpoint, as Republicans have in the past opposed similar health care mandates relating to reproductive health.
