President Donald Trump promised to lower costs and make it easier for young Americans to start families. However, the in vitro fertilization executive order he signed this week will not accomplish either of those things, and it will also inflame complex ethical matters and divide public opinion.

Trump’s order, “Expanding Access to In Vitro Fertilization,” and an accompanying Fact Sheet helpfully stress “the importance of family formation” and the need for public policy to “make it easier for loving and longing mothers and fathers to have children.” These are important goals that Trump is already furthering through other policy priorities, such as reducing illegal immigration, reforming permitting, and extending the child tax credit.
