The Deadbeat Dad of IVF

This week on Paging America, Miles is joined by co-host Dr. Kristin Lyerly. Together, they unpack the Trump administration’s quiet walk-back on IVF access, the implications of medical data-sharing with ICE, and the shocking decision to burn millions in unused contraceptives meant for global aid.

Later, Miles is joined by special guest Dr. Jill Gibson, former Chief Medical Officer of Planned Parenthood Arizona. Dr. Gibson shares her experience and expertise on the Trump Administration’s empty promise of IVF coverage and how these policies hurt real families, and will make IVF even more inaccessible for trying families.
