Trump released a statement calling on the state legislature to lift Alabama’s IVF ban, as Republicans reel from the backlash.
What did Trump say about Alabama’s IVF ban?
Trump posted on Truth Social:
Under my leadership, the Republican Party will always support creating strong, prosperous, healthy American families. We want to make it easier for mothers and fathers to have children, not harder! This includes advocating for the availability of fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization in every American state. Like the vast majority of Americans, including the vast majority of Republicans, conservatives, Christians, and pro-life Americans, I strongly support the availability of IVF for couples who are trying to have a precious child.
Today I am calling on the Alabama Legislature to act quickly to find an immediate solution to preserve the availability of IVF in Alabama. The Republican Party should always stand with the Miracle of Life – and with mothers, fathers and their beautiful children. IVF is an important part of this and our Great Republican Party will always be with you, in your quest, for the ULTIMATE JOY IN LIFE!

Trump doesn’t care about babies, children, or IVF. This is the same guy who as president would put children in cages along the southern border and sleep with Stormy Daniels four months after his wife gave birth to their child, then try to sell him as if he cared for the children and of families is impossible.
What Trump cares about is how the IVF issue could cost him votes in November. This is why Trump suddenly says that IVF is great and needs to be protected, even though he’s not sure he knows what IVF is.
The Alabama Supreme Court ruling scared Republicans, and Trump’s statement shows their fear.
