Trump Sparks Controversy with 'Father of IVF' Claim at Town Hall

During a Fox News town hall, Trump claimed to be the 'father of IVF' while also admitting he recently learned about the procedure.

Former President Donald Trump declared himself the 'father of IVF' during a Fox News town hall, despite admitting he only recently learned about the procedure.
Trump's comments came in response to concerns about how abortion bans might affect access to IVF and other fertility treatments.
The Alabama Supreme Court ruling that embryos are children under state law led to some clinics pausing IVF services, sparking debate over reproductive rights.
Trump's campaign later clarified his 'father of IVF' remark was made in jest, but it drew criticism from opponents who highlighted his role in restricting abortion rights.
The town hall, aimed at female voters, was criticized for catering more to Trump's male base and avoiding tough questions on women's issues.
