Harris Reacts To Trump's 'Father Of IVF' Remark With A Searing Dig
HuffPost
The Republican presidential nominee dubbed himself the "father of IVF" at a town hall earlier this week.
On Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris weighed in on GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s baffling assertion earlier this week that he is “the father of IVF.”
Harris was discussing reproductive rights at a rally in Wisconsin when she called out Trump’s selection of the Supreme Court justices that ultimately helped end the federal right to abortion — and the role his party has played in threatening other forms of reproductive health care, such as in vitro fertilization.
The Democratic nominee charged that Trump has refused to “acknowledge the harm he has caused,” before playing a clip at the rally of Trump expressing his support for IVF.
“Now the man calls himself ‘the father of IVF,’” Harris said with a laugh. “I mean, what does that even mean?”
“He, by the way, is responsible for it being at risk in the first place,” she continued, adding, “He has no idea what he’s talking about ... when it comes to the health care of the women in America.”
