Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the United States presidential election, announced on Thursday that he is in favor of compensation for in vitro fertilization for couples in the United States so that the country can have “more children”.
“Under a Trump presidency, the state or your insurance company will pay all the costs associated with IVF,” the former president said at a campaign rally in Michigan. Since the Supreme Court of the United States ended the constitutional guarantee of the right to abortion in 2022, defenders of the right to abortion have worried that medically assisted childbirth (MAP) and especially IVF will be affected.
A headache for the Republicans
In February, a court in the ultra-conservative state of Alabama said it considered embryos preserved by freezing as “children”, and several specialized hospitals announced that they would stop their services. stand as a result. The issue, which is directly linked to the debate on abortion, quickly rose to the top of the election campaign.
This situation is a real headache for the Republican camp, especially among conservatives who claim to be “pro-life”. For some, delaying IVF is a total contradiction with the protection of the family and traditional values.
We are still ambiguous on abortion
On the side of this meeting, Donald Trump also showed himself to be neutral on the issue of abortion. So he insisted that the current six-week deadline for abortion in Florida, the state where he lives, is “too short”. “You need to ride,” he told NBC.
The question of protecting the right to abortion, central to the duel between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, will be the subject of a referendum in Florida and in a handful of hotly contested states for the November election.
