Democratic lawmakers are decrying President Donald Trump’s recent order on in vitro fertilization as nothing more than a “PR stunt,” while anti-abortion groups bristled over a move that follows Trump’s campaign promise to make the procedure free.
Trump issued an executive order Tuesday directing the assistant to the president for domestic policy to give him a list of policy recommendations on protecting IVF access and “aggressively” lowering out-of-pocket and health plan costs for the procedure.
