Former President Donald Trump’s pledge to make in vitro fertilization free if he wins a second term is putting Senate Republicans on the spot after they killed legislation in the upper chamber earlier this year that sought to do just that.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) revived the measure following Trump’s unveiling of his proposal, which would require insurance companies or taxpayers to pick up the tab for IVF treatments.
