Trump Gives IVF a Shoutout in the State of the Union Address

About an hour into his State of the Union address, President Donald Trump gave a shoutout to Catherine, a woman undergoing IV. Trump wished her the best of luck and said he knew she was going to make a wonderful mother.

It was a brief bit, and a callback to earlier Trump statements (he claimed last year that he would be "known as the fertilization president"). It may also have signaled something about a broader conservative divide. When it comes to IVF, the Trump administration is still courting the normie contingent, not the extreme social conservatives.
