Trump: “I am the father of IVF”

Trump made a strange, even zany statement at another Town Hall, broadcast on Fox News in Georgia, where he proclaimed himself the “father of IVF”.

This sentence has caused frustration among many observers, given that he is the main person responsible for appointing ultraconservative judges who overturned Roe v. Wade, disrupting IVF services in some states that had very strict laws in place following this controversial Supreme Court decision.

In front of an audience made up entirely of his female supporters, Trump claimed that the Republican party was “the party of IVF.”

Trump seems otherwise unconcerned about his responsibility in the national conflict over abortion and reproductive rights.

These rights have been severely tested by controversial laws, notably in Alabama, where embryos are considered human beings, placing a heavy burden on patients and medical teams in the field.

Remember that Trump has been trying for some time to tone down his comments on abortion, which has become a major issue in the current election.

He recently declared that he would veto a possible federal ban on abortion, having previously remained expressly silent on the subject.

Doubts persist despite his attempts to reassure on the subject. Indeed, several people tipped for positions in a possible government under Trump are among those who contributed to the infamous 900+ page “Project 2025” document.

The document proposes a total ban on abortion, as well as a ban on assisted fertilization methods and all means of contraception, including the pill and condoms.
