President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday seeking to expand access to IVF and reduce costs for Americans who want to pursue the highly controversial procedure.
The executive order on IVF, a procedure in which a sperm and egg are artificially joined outside of the womb and implanted into the uterus, asked his domestic policy advisers for a “list of policy recommendations on protecting IVF access and aggressively reducing out-of-pocket and health plan costs for IVF treatment,” according to a fact sheet published by the White House.
