Trump's Claim: 'Father of IVF'?
Alabama, USAFri Oct 18 2024
Former President Donald Trump made a surprising claim during a Fox News town hall. He said he was the "father of IVF," even though he only recently learned about the procedure. A woman asked about IVF and how abortion bans might affect it. Trump said he didn't know much about IVF until Senator Katie Britt from Alabama called him. She told him about a court case that worried some people. Trump then said he supports IVF and that his party does too. But not everyone in his party agrees. Some think IVF is wrong because it creates embryos that might be destroyed. Trump also said he would make insurance companies pay for IVF if he was president again. His campaign later said he was just joking about being the "father of IVF. " The real "father of IVF" is Robert Edwards, a scientist who won a Nobel Prize for his work.
