Donald Trump calls himself 'father of IVF' to attract female voters

The Republican boasts of having been behind the cancellation of the constitutional guarantee of abortion, which does not please some women. He says he is in favor of IVF to reassure them.

UNITED STATES - A new statement. The Republican candidate for the White House, Donald Trump, proclaimed this Wednesday, October 16, in front of an exclusively female audience, that he was the "father of in vitro fertilization", a sensitive and very political issue in the run-up to the presidential election.

"We are truly the party of in vitro fertilization. The Democrats have tried to attack us on that, but we are even more active than they are in the area of ​​in vitro fertilization ," or IVF, the former US president said during a Fox News broadcast .

The latter did not elaborate further on his remarks, remaining vague on this theme, one of the main weak points of his campaign. And as the New York Times points out, Republican elected officials in Congress have twice voted against a law that would protect IVF.

In the same interview, he recounted how, after a February court ruling banning the technique in conservative Alabama, Republican Sen. Katie Britt called him to help defend her against the growing controversy. He said, “Tell me really quickly what IVF is, and within two minutes I understood and I said, ‘No, no, we’re for IVF!’” the former president continued.

Kamala Harris responds 

Donald Trump boasts that, through his appointment of three conservative judges to the Supreme Court, he allowed the constitutional guarantee of the right to abortion to be annulled in June 2022. But in the face of repeated criticism from Democrats and the support of a majority of public opinion for the right to abortion, the former president is now careful to present himself as a defender of "reproductive rights" .

On the other hand, the Democratic candidate poses as a fervent defender of women's rights to control their bodies. "Donald Trump proclaimed himself the 'father of in vitro fertilization,' but what is he talking about?" asked Kamala Harris , who called her rival "rather weird . "

“His abortion bans have already jeopardized access to the procedure in states across the country — and his own agenda could end IVF altogether ,” she continued. “So let’s not be distracted by his choice of words. The reality is that his actions have already hurt women and families.”
