Donald Trump says government or insurance would pay for IVF if elected
Wow! Think of all the millions of new fertilized eggs on the one hand, and the rhetoric from so-called pro-lifers that destroying them is murder, and letting them stay frozen makes them the "orphaned unborn". And then there is the state of Alabama calling all fertilized eggs "children".
Will pro lifers stick with Trump or dump him? Will Catholic bishops and priests still tell the faithful they must vote republican? Grab your popcorn! This is going to get exciting. Especially with Donald saying we need ivf because America needs great children, and that is going to sound to a lot of people like promoting eugenics.

Militant U.S. Anti-Abortion Activists: Towards the Total Abolition of Abortion (Public Research Associates; Inform Your Resistance podcast)
Who are the abortion abolitionists? What drives them, and how do their tactics overlap with those of other far-right movements? Join host, Koki Mendis, and PRA Senior Research Analyst, Cloee Cooper, as we uncover the differences between the broader pro-life movement and the abortion abolitionist movement.
The abortion abolitionists are a nationwide network of militant anti-abortion far-right activists who want to eradicate all abortion. They would like to see the death penalty for those involved in abortion. They draw on the militant anti-abortion movement from the 1990s that was responsible for violence against abortion clinics and providers. We discuss how the pro-life movement is more interested in working within the US legal system for reforms that further restrict access to abortion, while the abortion abolitionists want to abolish abortion in all instances.
We explore the influence of Christian Reconstructionism on the anti-abortion movement, and how its vision for a theocratic society has had a significant impact on the abortion abolitionist movement today. We examine the overlap between the abortion abolitionist movement, militias, and other far-right movements, including the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection.
We examine the broader pro-life bills that have been introduced in various states, and we compare these bills with the ones that the abolitionists are advocating for, which would criminalize anyone who has an abortion and grant legal protection to fertilized eggs. We also look at the role of Bradley Pierce, the attorney behind many of the abortion abolitionist bills, and how his Foundation to Abolish Abortion is connected to the right-wing homeschooling movement. We explore the concept of the Overton window, and how the abortion abolitionist movement is pushing for their extreme ideas to become accepted as common sense.
Finally, we discuss how the abortion abolitionist movement is shifting its tactics to become more mainstream and to influence change. We assess the need to understand the strategies of the abortion abolitionist movement and to build coalitions to establish movement strategies rooted in communities and movements on the ground.

Trump’s Evangelical Supporters Just Lost Their Best Excuse - The Atlantic
So voting for Donald Trump didn't mean you were voting for fewer abortions. Abortions declined by nearly 30 percent during Barack Obama's two terms, and by the end of his term, the abortion rate and ratio were below what they were in 1973, when Roe v. Wade was decided.
But they went up again on Trump's watch. Public opposition to abortion is collapsing.
Pro-life initiatives are being beaten even in very conservative states. The GOP has jettisoned its pro-life plank after having it in place for nearly a half century. And Trump himself is now saying he'd be great for "reproductive rights," a position that pro-lifers have long insisted is a moral abomination.

The anti-abortion movement is showing its true colors | The Hill
"Idaho is putting doctors in the impossible position of choosing between violating federal law by not providing emergency abortion care and violating state law if they do. This is the true, unvarnished face of the American anti-abortion movement. There is nothing "pro-life" about it…"

Opinion | Bans Haven’t Lowered the National Abortion Rate. Pro-Lifers Must Find Another Way. - The New York Times
Abortion opponents should demand that lawmakers at both the state and national levels prove their pro-life bona fides by supporting measures such as these that will offer positive alternatives to abortion — just as the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and other abortion opponents (including myself) joined with supporters of abortion rights in pushing for protections for pregnant workers. The Senate passed the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act a year ago with strong bipartisan support…
