It's a step, though the EO doesn't actually establish any policy or accomplish anything directly - it's basically a request for proposals on how to improve the situation. We'll have to wait and see if it goes anywhere.

Very much like his EO to lower prices. Basically shouting to the Departments, "Anybody got any ideas?"

On the campaign trail, Trump said that if he won a second term, he would mandate that the government or private insurance companies cover all IVF costs.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth ... called on Trump to urge her GOP colleagues to support legislation she introduced last year to protect IVF access, which nearly every Senate Republican voted against considering.

“Otherwise, it’s all just lip-service from a known liar,” Duckworth wrote.

IVF is exponentially worse than abortion because many embryos are created and few are used.

The rest or discarded or kept on ice in a lab--as long as the owners pay rent.

PGT, pre-implantation genetic testing, insures that only embryos without genetic abnormalities are implanted. The affected embryos are discarded.

An abortion involves one embryo (or, in much rarer cases, a fetus.)

Ever wonder why so many 40-something acresses have boy-girl fraternal twins? PGT allows for designer babies.

I guess the candidate didn't hear all that--or doesn't care.
