WASHINGTON (OSV News) — Former President Donald Trump on Feb. 23 responded to the Alabama Supreme Court’s in vitro fertilization ruling in a statement saying he supports the “availability of IVF” and calling on the state’s Legislature to “act quickly to find an immediate solution” to preserve access to fertility treatment in the state.

IVF is an artificial form of fertility treatment opposed by the Catholic Church on the grounds that it often involves the destruction of human embryos and violates their human dignity in multiple other ways.

Trump, who is in the midst of his third bid for the White House and is the clear frontrunner poised to receive his party’s nomination for president, joined several other Republican lawmakers or candidates for office who condemned the Alabama Supreme Court’s ruling.

I believe life begins at conception, and I greatly respect the Catholic Church's teaching on this issue.
I believe some European countries have much stricter laws and restrictions on IVF, such as Italy,
including how many embryos are created and implanted.
Some ban single women and lesbians from the procedure. I wish our laws were at least as restrictive as theirs.
