Former President Donald Trump has pledged that, if elected, he would mandate the federal government or insurance companies to cover in vitro fertilization (IVF) costs, a move criticized by Vice President Kamala Harris and her allies as disingenuous given Trump's history of actions that threaten reproductive rights. Harris's campaign accused Trump of 'gaslighting' voters, pointing out that his administration previously took steps to overturn Roe v. Wade, which has raised concerns about IVF access as well. Critics argue that Trump's recent statements are an attempt to appeal to voters who support IVF while adhering to far-right policies. During a campaign rally, Trump claimed that his administration would prioritize family growth by facilitating IVF funding, although he did not clarify the specifics of his proposal. The backlash highlights growing tensions in the reproductive rights debate as both parties prepare for the upcoming election. Harris is emphasizing her own economic plans aimed at supporting families amidst these contentious issues.
