In the early days of his second term, President Donald Trump has worked to crack the code on America’s fertility drop and reverse falling birth rates. Describing himself as the “fertilization president,” the pronatalist Trump has reportedly floated everything from doling out $5,000 checks to mothers after delivery, to awarding a “National Medal of Motherhood” to mothers with at least six children, to lowering the cost of in vitro fertilization (IVF) drugs.
“We want more babies, to put it nicely,” Trump said at a Michigan event in October.
