WATERTOWN, Wis.— Former President Donald Trump announced his new in-vitro fertilization policy while touring the midwest Thursday night, telling a full crowd at a town hall in La Crosse, Wisconsin that “your government” will either pay for IVF treatment or mandate that insurance companies pay for it.

“We want people to have babies,” Trump said to the roaring approval of the audience.

His comments came after former Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (I-HI), who was moderating the town hall, told the emotional story of her own unsuccessful IVF treatments while in Congress.

“I just know there are women or couples in this crowd, those watching tonight, going through this same struggle,” Tulsi said in front of the western Wisconsin crowd.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.), is defending his seat against Democratic challenger Rebecca Cooke on Wisconsin’s western border.

“The Republican Party is the party of the family,” Van Orden told The Post after Trump’s town hall, in response to a question about how Trump’s newly rolled out policy would impact the race in Wisconsin.

“Do I have all the answers about IVF? Cause you do have a bunch of fertilized embryos. Honestly, I don’t have the answer to the disposition of that,” Van Orden acknowledged, referring to the excess embryos sometimes created during the lab fertilization process and a point of controversy for some pro-life voters.

“If people want to have children, they should be able to use this technology. So I fully support it. President Trump fully supports it.”

Van Orden disputed reports that Trump has changed his position on the controversial topic.

Democrats, including Harris, have campaigned heavily on reproductive rights in battleground Wisconsin, highlighting IVF and abortion exception cases.

When asked about Trump’s position on abortion, Van Orden pivoted to the Democrats’ position, “We really need to understand the Democrat Party has the most radical stance on tax-payer funded abortions up to birth for any reason, including sex selection, and if the child survives an abortion attempt. It’s horrific.”

Both Trump and Van Orden support exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother.

“I just can’t imagine being in that position. And I’d like to get to a place as a world where no mom feels she has to abort that child,” Van Orden told The Post, referring to the abortion ban exceptions.

“If you’re having a medical emergency because you’re pregnant, it’s a medical procedure.”

Former political fundraiser and strategist, Rebecca Cooke, who won the August primary for the Democratic ticket, will face Van Orden in November.

Democrats are investing millions in the race to unseat the former Navy Seal, but Cooke Political Report rates Van Orden’s house race as Lean Republican.
