Donald Trump declared himself the "father of IVF" during a town hall in Georgia, emphasizing his support for in vitro fertilization amid ongoing debates about reproductive rights. His comments come after the Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Trump's remarks follow a controversial Alabama ruling that classified frozen embryos as children, raising concerns about the future of IVF. He previously stated he would make IVF free but did not clarify how this would be implemented. During the event, Trump criticized some states for strict abortion laws, suggesting they would be revised. He reiterated his support for exceptions in abortion bans and acknowledged the need for the Republican Party to regain public trust on reproductive issues.
