Trump signs Executive Order protecting IVF access and lowers costs

Inspired by an Alabama ruling, President Trump takes action to support families seeking fertility treatments.

President Donald Trump has followed through on a campaign promise, signing an executive order aimed at protecting access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and reducing associated costs.

The directive instructs federal agencies to develop policies that make fertility treatments more affordable, easing both out-of-pocket expenses and health plan costs for hopeful parents.

The decision was not just a policy move for Trump—it was personal, influenced in large part by U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Montgomery).

In February 2024, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that embryos created through IVF should be legally recognized as children, prompting several fertility clinics, including those affiliated with the UAB Health System, to suspend services due to legal concerns.

Britt, an outspoken advocate for IVF access, quickly took action, arguing that supporting life and ensuring fertility services should go hand in hand.

Trump recalled a conversation with Britt following the ruling, saying, “After about five minutes, I said, ‘That’s a great thing.’”

With today’s executive order, he has made protecting IVF access a national priority. Following the signing, Britt expressed her gratitude, calling it “yet another promise kept.”

“IVF is profoundly pro-family,” Britt stated, “and I’m proud to work with President Trump on ensuring more loving parents can start and grow their families.”

The move is expected to provide relief to countless families struggling with fertility challenges across the country.
