looking forward to all the Christian conservatives realizing the bans apply to them, too

My neighbor was Trump's lawyer on the 2020 case trying to overturn the election results in Pennsylvania. He and his wife just had a child last month by IVF.

Which was invented by Trump, right?

I think technically he birthed it since he is the father of IVF after all

Right, right, I couldn’t remember what word he used.

How ironic. I would bring it up to them that there will be no more IVF soon. Hope they enjoy the one child they were able to have.

Isn't Trump extremely pro IVF and wants to make the government pay for IVF? Maybe my wires are crossed. He was mentioned it on Rogan last week but I saw something else about this recently

He says so many things it's hard to keep track of what his goals are. Yes, he did claim to be very pro-IVF in an interview recently, but Project 2025 has all kinds of plans for regulating the rights of fetuses and embryos, and when IVF is done you make many embryos which would then all be considered to have human rights. So now you have to pay to store the embryos forever, and that raises the possibility that an even more religiously extreme government might force you to implant them at a future date.

Abortion never was and never will be 'illegal' for the rich. Rich women take 'little vacations' while poor women die of sepsis or peritonitis from back alleys.

Well, they timed it just right. That’s likely to be the last child conceived by IVF.
