Donald Trump sought to present himself as the "father of IVF" on Wednesday (Oct 16), as he told an all-female audience at an election campaign event he supported a fertility treatment that Democrats say he has put under threat.
The Republican candidate did not explain what he meant, but his remarks were the latest in a series of conflicting stances he has taken on reproductive rights, a key weakness in his push for the White House.
"I want to talk about IVF. I'm the father of IVF, so I want to hear this question," Trump told Fox News in the closely-watched swing state of Georgia as the topic turned to in vitro fertilization. "We really are the party for IVF. We want fertilization, and it's all the way, and the Democrats tried to attack us on it and we're out there on IVF even more than them."

IVF typically involves multiples abortions very early on, and sometimes “selective reduction” later. It also separates procreation from the marital act, which violates Natural Law. This is not a federal issue, and I don’t want my tax dollars going towards it. I support Trump, but this does NOT help.
I need to hear the full context of that before saying anything, but I am 100% against IVF and support measures to block it.
I wonder what he meant, was he a charitable donor to IVF research in the 20th century?
Was it developed by charity? I thought it was a development intended for profit.
O my Lord! The will to execute innocents just grows more and more. The Grand Ole Planned Parenthood Party supports abortion and IVF. Just sad.
Kill innocents for more votes… I guess they consider it acceptable. Disgusting and vile.
Maybe one of his older children was born via IVF???
Wish he had been more clear. I support IVF but not selective reduction. Would like to see one at a time attempts and leftovers donated. But IVF is a savior technique for those who so desperately want a child and can’t naturally.
Science is there to FIX what nature does wrong. Absolutely grateful that there are so many ways now to treat cancer and absolutely grateful that there are ways to help desperate people nurture a new generation. There are so many people who should be forcibly sterilized. Let’s encourage good people to raise good families however they do it.
The doctors I’ve heard of said selective reduction is almost every single one. Most doctors won’t do it the other way.
To be fair we have no idea how he likes to spend his free time.
Really? I thought he tweets about just about everything he does?
I’m not voting for Trump because he isn’t a Christian. He claims he is, but he’s not. He’s been asked twice now if he has ever asked for forgiveness, and he said no both times. He has done nothing wrong.
Some things a man keeps to himself, Nick, some things he keeps to himself... :-)
So... who's your candidate?
It should be that way, it really should. But we live in the age of social media, and Donald Trump is the most social media politician there ever was.
I don’t believe he’s a Christian, either.
I’ve been on Pastor Search Committees for churches, and being a Christian was a requirement for the candidates, obviously.
For POTUS ... not so much. Protecting every part of the U. S. Constitution, including every Amendment, is my requirement for candidates. Since the RATs are committed to killing many of the Amendments, Trump is the only option.
“I’m not voting for Trump because he isn’t a Christian. He claims he is, but he’s not. He’s been asked twice now if he has ever asked for forgiveness, and he said no both times. He has done nothing wrong.”
Fair enough. Maybe Pence will run again some day for you? LOL.
“I’m not voting for Trump because he isn’t a Christian”
Few politicians are perfect. Furthermore, imagine all of their dirty linen that we don’t know about. I recommend that you choose based on the issues.
I think Trump is a better choice than Harris and Trump will do more good than harm if he becomes president.
You must have loved Jimmy Carter.
