ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump says he would “strongly support the availability” of in vitro fertilization for couples and women who are trying to have a baby. And he’s calling on lawmakers in Alabama “to act quickly to find an immediate solution to preserve the availability of IVF” in the state. The comments come after a ruling by the all-Republican Alabama Supreme Court that frozen embryos can be considered children under state law. Since then, several clinics in the state have announced pauses on IVF services. Nikki Haley steered clear of the IVF discussion as she campaigned before Saturday’s Republican presidential primary in South Carolina.
