Senator Katie Britt Applauds President Trump's Order to Expand IVF Accessibility and Affordability

February 18, 2025 – WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a historic move that underscores his commitment to pro-family policies, President Trump has issued an executive order aimed at expanding access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) across the United States. U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.), a fervent advocate for pro-family legislation, has hailed this executive action as the most significant pro-IVF measure ever undertaken at the federal level. This order marks a pivotal moment in the quest to make IVF more accessible and affordable for aspiring parents nationwide.

"IVF is fundamentally pro-family, helping aspiring parents across our nation start and grow their families. I couldn't be happier to see President Trump take this landmark step to expand access to this pathway to parenthood," said Senator Britt. "I remain grateful for President Trump's bold leadership on this issue. IVF will be more affordable and accessible for loving American families thanks to President Trump."

The executive order, which directs the Administration's domestic policy team to submit recommendations within 90 days to address both the accessibility and affordability of IVF, highlights the importance of family formation. The order states, "My Administration recognizes the importance of family formation, and as a Nation, our public policy must make it easier for loving and longing mothers and fathers to have children." This directive underscores the administration's determination to facilitate the process for families aspiring to bring new life into the world.

In a move that underscores his proactive stance on the issue, President Trump, following discussions with Senator Britt in February 2024, called on the State of Alabama to enact legislation protecting access to IVF. Responding with remarkable speed, Alabama's Republican-led House and Senate passed a bill that was swiftly signed into law by Governor Kay Ivey.

"President Trump is, once again, keeping his promises to the American people. I look forward to introducing legislation in the Senate advancing the Trump Administration's pro-family agenda for the millions of Americans facing infertility who dream of building a family. Republicans will continue to fight for hardworking families and deliver real results," Senator Britt continued.

Senator Britt has been a tireless champion in the fight to protect nationwide access to IVF. In May of the previous year, she introduced the IVF Protection Act alongside Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas). This groundbreaking piece of legislation is the only bill introduced in the U.S. Congress that seeks to guarantee continued access to IVF while safeguarding religious liberty. Additionally, Senator Britt led every single Republican Senator in a joint statement reaffirming their support for continued nationwide IVF access.

The significance of this executive order cannot be overstated. For millions of Americans facing infertility, the dream of building a family often seems out of reach due to the high costs and limited accessibility of IVF treatments. By addressing these issues head-on, the Trump Administration is taking a proactive stance in supporting family formation and ensuring that more families have the opportunity to experience the joys of parenthood.

As the policy recommendations are developed and implemented over the coming months, Senator Britt and her colleagues in the Senate will continue to work diligently to advance the pro-family agenda. Their commitment to making IVF more accessible and affordable is a testament to their dedication to supporting American families and ensuring that the dream of parenthood is attainable for all.

In conclusion, President Trump's executive order to expand access to IVF represents a monumental step forward in pro-family policies. Senator Katie Britt's unwavering support and advocacy for this cause further exemplify the commitment of Republican leaders to championing the needs of American families. As the nation moves forward with these groundbreaking changes, the promise of a brighter, more family-oriented future is within reach for millions of hopeful parents across the country.
