Donald Trump has positioned himself as an advocate for reproductive technology, offering government support for in vitro fertilization (IVF) during his 2024 campaign. The administration's approach, including increased child tax credits and a proposed $1,000 baby bonus, aims to reverse declining birth rates. There is a division within conservatism regarding IVF, with some supporting it as a tool for increasing births and others advocating for legal protections for embryos. Enhancing infertility treatment access for men could serve as a politically viable option to address these differing views on reproductive care.
Donald Trump, identifying himself as 'the fertilization president' and 'the father of IVF', promises government support for in vitro fertilization during his 2024 campaign.
To address declining birth rates, the Trump administration has increased the child tax credit, implemented a $1,000 baby bonus, and considered affirmative action for parents seeking Fulbright scholarships.
The administration's strategy towards IVF highlights divisions within conservatism, with some advocating for fertility technologies while others prioritize embryo protections related to anti-abortion beliefs.
Expanding access to infertility treatments for men may provide a politically viable solution for the Trump administration to boost fertility without alienating pro- or anti-IVF groups.
