'We want to produce babies': Trump says IVF costs would be covered if elected. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Thursday (August 29) 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.
