Trump Says Abortion 'Not That Big Of An Issue,' GOP Is 'Party Of Fertilization'

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING In one of his most bizarre interviews in recent memory, Donald Trump insisted abortion is “not that big of an issue,” claimed Republicans are the “party of fertilization” and said every legal scholar in the world supported overturning Roe v. Wade. “For many, many years, people have said we’ve got to bring this back to the states to decide, and that’s now working.” Trump also called the GOP the “party of fertilization,” apparently trying to make the case that Republicans have fought to ensure women’s access to in vitro fertilization, or IVF. The only reason it’s getting national attention now ― and that Trump is talking about it ― is because the Alabama Supreme Court ruled earlier this year a frozen embryo is “a child,” a decision resulting in IVF clinics halting their services around the state because they didn’t want to face prosecution or lawsuits by discarding unused embryos. Elsewhere in the interview, Trump falsely claimed that women routinely have abortions in the ninth month of pregnancy, said women are somehow having abortions after the ninth month and are able to “kill the baby after the baby is born,” and that “every legal scholar … all over the world” supported overturning Roe v. Wade.
