Trump said the Republican Party should ‘always be on the side of the Miracle of Life.’
Former President Donald Trump on Feb. 23 came out in support of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in response to an Alabama Supreme Court ruling that found that embryos are babies, putting the future of IVF in the state in jeopardy.
In a Truth Social Post, President Trump voiced opposition to the decision and urged the Alabama state legislature to protect IVF treatments in the wake of the judgment.
The 45th president stated in a post on Truth Social that he “strongly” supports the availability of IVF for couples “who are trying to have a precious baby.”
“Under my leadership, the Republican Party will always support the creation of strong, thriving, healthy American families,” President Trump said in the social media post.
“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. Like the OVERWHELMING 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 baby.”
The former president and current Republican frontrunner then called on the Alabama legislature to “act quickly” to find a solution to “preserve the availability of IVF in Alabama.”
“The Republican Party should always be on the side of the Miracle of Life – and the side of Mothers, Fathers, and their Beautiful Babies,” President Trump said. “IVF is an important part of that, and our Great Republican Party will always be with you, in your quest, for the ULTIMATE JOY IN LIFE!”

The Alabama Attorney General’s Office has now made clear its position regarding the enforcement of this ruling in relation to IVF families and providers.
“Attorney General Marshall has no intention of using the recent Alabama Supreme Court decision as a basis for prosecuting IVF families or providers,” Chief Counsel Katherine Robertson said in a brief statement provided by Marshall’s office to The Epoch Times.
President Joe Biden’s campaign released a statement in response to President Trump, asserting that his likely 2024 presidential rival was attempting to “whitewash the reality he created,” according to a press release that included a statement by Biden–Harris campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez.
