In a scathing critique, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts accused former President Trump of attempting to have it "both ways" when it comes to in vitro fertilization (IVF). According to Warren, Trump has been altering his stance on the issue to cater to different audiences, leaving many Americans feeling deceived.

During her appearance on MSNBC's "The Weekend," Warren highlighted Trump's tendency to adjust his rhetoric depending on his audience. She stated that when speaking to his radical base, Trump takes an extreme stance on IVF, but when addressing the majority of Americans who oppose such a radical approach, he swiftly changes his tune. Warren expressed disbelief at Trump's recent claim that he supports IVF, as his platform suggests otherwise, potentially leading to a nationwide ban on the treatment.

Trump stated on Thursday that if re-elected, his administration would protect IVF and ensure that the treatment is covered by either the government or insurance companies. Warren dismissed these claims, accusing Trump of lacking consistent principles and asserting that his true motivation is solely to benefit himself.

This accusation aligns with Vice President Harris' previous comment that Trump is "not a serious man," as she argued that his guiding principle revolves around furthering his own interests rather than upholding concrete values. Warren emphasized that this lack of principle is a significant reason why women voters do not trust Trump as a leader.

Trump's remarks on IVF also drew criticism from Gwen Walz, the wife of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and a member of Vice President Harris' campaign. Walz asserted that it was Trump who played a role in overturning Roe v. Wade and putting access to IVF at risk. She pointed out that Trump's current platform threatens the availability of these treatments nationwide.

Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma raised concerns about the funding for Trump's proposed IVF coverage, stating that he had not fully discussed this aspect with the former president. Mullin noted that there is always an issue of how to pay for such initiatives.

The Hill has reached out to Trump's campaign for comment on these accusations.

As the debate over IVF and women's reproductive rights continues to be a significant point of contention, Trump's shifting stance on the issue is facing scrutiny from critics who argue that his motives may not align with the best interests of American women.
