Trump Promises Free IVF Amid Controversy Over Abortion Stance

Former President Donald Trump has declared that if he wins a second term, IVF treatment will be made free. However, he did not provide details on funding or logistics. This announcement comes in the wake of criticism for his role in the Roe v Wade reversal. Trump's campaign focuses on family policies while navigating controversies over his fluctuating abortion stance.

Former President Donald Trump announced that he will make IVF treatment free for women if he secures a second term. Speaking at an event in Michigan, Trump emphasized that either the government or insurance companies would cover the costs, which can run into tens of thousands of dollars for a single round.

Trump's statement arrives amid intense scrutiny from Democrats over his involvement in the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade, which ended the constitutional right to an abortion. His stance has fluctuated, but he has attempted to position himself as moderate, even criticizing Florida's six-week abortion ban.

While Trump pushes for family-friendly policies like tax deductions for newborn care, his campaign draws sharp contrasts with Vice President Kamala Harris, with whom he competes for battleground states crucial for the upcoming election.
