Wisconsin Democrats and Republicans react to Trump's IVF plan, rally for Harris

MADISON (WKOW) -- State Democratic lawmakers and reproductive freedom advocates gathered on the State Capitol steps Wednesday to address former President Donald Trump's stance on abortion and rally for Vice President Kamala Harris.

In just the last few days, Trump - who is a Florida voter - said he would vote to uphold that state's six-week abortion ban. Around the same time, the former president also unveiled a new plan for in vitro fertilization (IVF).

"He senses that this is a big losing issue for him, that reproductive freedom and overturning Roe could cost him the election, and he is desperate to say anything," said Sen. Kelda Roys (D-Madison) at Wednesday's press conference. 

Former President Trump said the government or private insurers should pay for IVF treatments under his administration. 

But Democrats are not buying it. 

"Donald Trump is nothing but someone who will only say what people want to hear, and that political pandering, we have to call it out as we see it, because Donald Trump is not for our reproductive freedom," said Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski (D-WI).
