Former President Donald Trump recently stated that he supports leaving abortion regulation to individual states and ensuring the availability of in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Trump, who is expected to be the Republican presidential nominee, had previously hinted at sharing his stance on abortion laws.
In a video released on Truth Social, Trump emphasized that states should have the authority to decide abortion laws, diverging from the push for a federal abortion limit by some Republicans that Democrats oppose.

Trump’s position is clear: states should determine abortion laws through legislation or voting processes. He highlighted the diversity among states, suggesting that different states may have varying regulations, including differences in the number of weeks allowed for abortions.
Trump emphasized the importance of respecting people’s will, urging individuals to follow their beliefs, whether based on personal conviction or faith. He encouraged making decisions that align with one’s values and benefit families and the nation.

In addition to discussing abortion, Trump praised the accessibility of IVF and other fertility treatments despite opposition from some conservatives. He referenced a recent Alabama Supreme Court ruling that restricted IVF practices, commending the state legislature’s prompt action to reverse the decision.
Trump’s support for IVF reflects his broader goal of making it easier for families to have children and supporting fertility treatments across all states.
Despite all, Trump’s statements underscore his belief in state autonomy regarding abortion laws and his endorsement of fertility treatments, aligning with his conservative stance on family values and individual freedoms.
