CNN —Former President Donald Trump responded Friday to the Alabama Supreme Court’s in vitro fertilization ruling last week by saying he supports the “availability of IVF” and calling on the Alabama legislature to “act quickly to find an immediate solution” to preserve its availability in the state.
“We want to make it easier for mothers and fathers to have babies, not harder!
That includes supporting the availability of fertility treatments like IVF in every State in America,” the former president said on his Truth Social platform.
The controversial decision has enraged abortion rights activists and thrown into doubt the ability of women in Alabama to undergo IVF to become pregnant, as fertility clinics now weigh new and potentially onerous legal liabilities.
Republican candidates and lawmakers, including Trump presidential rival Nikki Haley, have scrambled for coherent responses to the ruling over the past week.
