One of the key selling points of the Make America Healthy Once action is that the Trump administration “promotes wellness rather than just managing condition.” However, when it comes to fertility, a disease that affects one in seven couples trying to conceive, both the White House and MAHA hero Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are fixated on administration over protection and research.
When President Donald Trump signed an executive order promising to protect a subset of that industry’s ever-growing stream of in vitro fertilization ( IVF ) customers, Kennedy hailed it as” an important strategy for addressing the national crisis on falling fertility rates.”
He even criticized the “high costs” of the treatment, but omitted Big Pharma as the most glaring factor.
The commercial pharmaceutical sector is a major contributor to the occurrence of IVF. To encourage egg growth, button or postpone ovulation, prepare a person’s endocrine system and womb lining for embryo transfer, and maintain some pregnancy hormones like progesterone elevated after embryo transfers, are prescribed different costly fertility drugs to cheerful couples.
There are so many photos a woman gets during each IVF cycle that it has become a common practice for those who use assisted reproductive technology ( ART ) to pose their babies with the empty jab applicators that contributed to their creation.
Kennedy also failed to account for the social and physical costs of biological engineering despite being good aware of them, despite his shortsightedness regarding the financial costs of IVF. Kennedy’s vice presidential find, Nicole Shanahan, made stories during his 2024 work for warning against the prevalence of IVF and calling it “one of the biggest lies that’s being told about women’s health today”.
Big Fertility, whose biggest retailer is IVF, frequently prioritizes , gain over people. The market offers anyone and everyone, regardless of their relationship position or gender, to get reproduction without regard for children’s natural rights. The consequences include adjusted eugenics, forced insecurity, the , destruction of women , in reproduction, fertility scam, more than a million continuously frozen embryos, and intentional ignorance of women’s health solutions.
Kennedy should stick to the MAHA script, which established his campaign for head of the Department of Health and Human Services, even though he promised to do so with the pro-life protections that defined Trump’s first term.
Instead of treating its symptoms with a drawn-out and expensive technological procedure that guarantees nothing but the serial creation and destruction of small lives, researching and adopting fertility policies that address the root causes of infertility is undoubtedly on par with the MAHA mission.
In contrast to ART like IVF, restorative reproductive medicine ( RRM ) gives allegedly infertile couples a chance to understand and treat why they have trouble conceiving rather than jump to circumvent natural reproduction to produce a child. One preprint study from Ireland specifically found that RRM provides “better perinatal outcomes” for women and their babies as well as a higher live birth rate than IVF.
State and federal governments ‘ encouragement of the multibillion-dollar American ART industry, on the other hand, will only enable that industry to grow. That expansion undermines Kennedy and the Trump administration’s commitment to “fresh thinking” on the biggest health crises facing Americans today, as well as the more than a million lives that have been lost to cryogenic freezers as a result of IVF.
It is noble for the White House, with Kennedy’s support, to promote fertility and growing families. It is far from the best course of action to pursue that goal by supporting a widely unchecked medical industry known for taking advantage of Americans who are emotionally and physically vulnerable.
