This statement\u200b follows an attack ad released by Vice \u200dPresident Kamala Harris, \u200bwhich suggested that Trump \u200bmight attempt to ban IVF\u200c if elected for a \u200csecond term. Harris&#8217;s campaign\u2064 claimed\u200b that\u200c Trump&#8217;s policies could effectively ban IVF\u200c and have consistently warned \u200bvoters of this\u2062 risk during \u2063her\u200d campaign appearances. In response, \u200bTrump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dod-more-troops-will-be-deployed-to-afghanistan-before-sept-11\/\" title=\"DOD: More troops will be deployed to Afghanistan before Sept. 11\">press secretary stated<\/a> that Trump has always\u2062 supported\u200b states&#8217; rights \u2064regarding\u200c abortion\u2063 decisions and has advocated for\u2064 universal access to IVF and contraception.<\/p>\n<p>On social media, Trump refuted Harris&#8217;s claims, asserting his long-standing support for IVF and criticizing the ad \u200cas \u2063misleading. He has pledged not only to enhance\u2062 access to fertility treatments but also suggested that government or health insurance\u2063 companies would cover IVF\u2063 costs if he wins\u200c the \u2064election. His campaign&#8217;s stance includes plans to offer \u2064tax deductions for new parents&#8217; expenses, emphasizing a desire to encourage family growth. The ongoing\u2063 debate about IVF \u200caccess also highlights broader discussions\u2064 within the \u2062political arena, especially between Democrats and Republicans.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump campaign makes new promise for &lsquo;universal&rsquo; IVF coverage after Harris attack ad<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1742018\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a> reaffirmed his support for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ivf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>in vitro fertilization<\/a> services after Vice President Kamala Harris rolled out an ad that said he might ban the fertility treatment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The Trump campaign embraced &ldquo;universal access&rdquo; to IVF healthcare and didn&rsquo;t deny suggestions the policy could include services for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/lgbt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"LGBT couples,\">LGBT couples,<\/a> according to an NBC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/nbc-out\/out-politics-and-policy\/trump-campaign-universal-ivf-access-gay-couples-rcna172821\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>report<\/a> published Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;President Trump has long been consistent in supporting the rights of states to make decisions on abortion and has been very clear that he will NOT sign a federal ban when he is back in the White House.
