President Donald Trump called himself the 'father of IVF,' or in-vitro fertilization. Patients are rejoicing at his latest executive order.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order that aims to reduce costs and expand access to IVF. Here’s what we know about what the order does.

The Trump administration is working to expand access to In Vitro Fertilization across the country. Last week, the president signed an executive order that aims to lower the cost of IVF treatment. CBS 42 spoke with the founder of an organization dedicated to keeping IVF accessible in Alabama.

Signed Tuesday, the executive order aims to expand access to IVF and reduce its costs, but has not effected any immediate changes to the procedure.

The president says the order would help lower costs and expand access to in vitro fertilization, but advocates caution that this is just a first step.

Trump's IVF executive order sparks debate on reproductive rights, personhood, and access. Advocates call for comprehensive solutions balancing IVF and abortion rights.
