TRUMP SAYS IVF COSTS WOULD BE COVERED IF HE IS ELECTED

Republican presidential nominee and former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks as

WASHINGTON, Aug 29 (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump
said on Thursday he will require the government or insurance companies to pay
for IVF fertility treatments if he is elected in November, a move likely aimed
at appealing to women and suburban voters.
"We want to produce babies in this country, right?" Trump said during a town
hall-style campaign event in La Crosse, Wisconsin, on Thursday.
Earlier in the day in Michigan, Trump also said his administration would push
for allowing new parents to deduct "major newborn expenses" from their taxes.

Opinion polls show Trump has lost ground with women voters since Vice President
Kamala Harris became the Democratic candidate in the Nov. 5 election. Harris led
Trump by 49% to 36% - or 13 percentage points - among women voters in a
Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Thursday, compared to her 9-point lead in polls
conducted in July.
In speeches, Harris has attacked Trump's abortion position and painted
Republicans as a threat to women's rights, including access to birth control,
abortion medication and fertility treatments.

Trump, who as president appointed three of the justices who made up the majority
that ended constitutional protection for abortion, has said the matter is now to
be decided by individual states.
Last week, Trump posted on his Truth Social account that his administration
would be "great for women and their reproductive rights" - a statement that was
viewed by some as an attempt by Trump to moderate his position and drew
criticism from evangelical supporters.

Trump's running mate, U.S. Senator JD Vance, said on Sunday that Trump would
veto a national abortion ban if one were to be passed by Congress.
Trump caused confusion on Thursday when he seemed to suggest in an interview
with NBC News that he would vote in his home state of Florida this November in
favor of an amendment to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution and
overturn a current six-week abortion ban.

"I am going to be voting that we need more than six weeks," Trump said.
But his campaign quickly clarified his statement, saying Trump has yet to make
up his mind about the amendment, which is strongly opposed by the anti-abortion
groups that have backed Trump's candidacy.
Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, an
anti-abortion lobby group, said in a statement that she spoke on the phone with
Trump after his remarks and was told that he remains undecided.

A spokesperson for Harris, Sarafina Chitika, said on Thursday that Trump should
not be trusted on issues relating to women's reproductive care.
"Because Trump overturned Roe v. Wade, IVF is already under attack and women’s
freedoms have been ripped away in states across the country," Chitika said.
IVF has emerged as a hot-button issue in this election, as Republicans
nationwide have scrambled to contain backlash from a decision by the Alabama
Supreme Court, which ruled in February that embryos were children.
That ruling left it unclear how to legally store, transport and use embryos,
prompting some IVF patients to consider moving their frozen embryos out of the
state.
Trump did not elaborate on how his administration would cover the cost of IVF
treatments and changes to the U.S. tax code, or whether he would seek
congressional action on his proposals.
"Government is going to pay for it, or we're going to get or mandate your
insurance company to pay for it," he said.
Not all states currently require insurance companies to cover IVF, which
involves combining eggs and sperm in a laboratory dish to create an embryo for
couples having difficulty conceiving. IVF is expensive even with coverage and
can cost thousands of dollars in drugs and medical procedures.
