Trump Praises ‘Young,’ ‘Fantastically Attractive’ Senator Katie Britt for Making Him ‘Totally In Favor’ of IVF

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump credited the “young” and “fantastically attractive” Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) for making him “totally in favor” of IVF at a Fox News town hall during Wednesday’s episode of The Faulkner Focus.

After deeming himself, “the father of IVF,” Trump fielded a question about his stance on the fertility treatment from a pro-life woman.

“So, I got a call from Katie Britt, a young, just a fantastically attractive person from Alabama. She’s a senator. And she called me up like, ‘Emergency, emergency,’ because an Alabama judge had ruled that the IVF clinics were illegal and they have to be closed down — a judge ruled,” began Trump. “And she [Britt] said, ‘Friends of mine came up to me and they were, oh, they were so angry. I didn’t even know they were going.’ You know, they were, it’s fertilization.”

He continued:

I didn’t know they were even involved in, nobody talks about that, they don’t talk about it. But now that they can’t do it, she said, ‘I was attacked.’ In a certain way, ‘I was attacked.’ And I said, ‘Explain IVF very quickly.’ And within about two minutes I understood it. I said, ‘No, no, we’re totally in favor of IVF.’ I came out with a statement within an hour, a really powerful statement with some experts, really powerful. And we we went totally in favor. The Republican Party, the whole party, Alabama legislature a day later overturned, meaning approved — overturned the judge, essentially — approved it. And we really are the party for IVF. We want fertilization and it’s all the way. And the Democrats tried to attack us on it. And we’re out there on IVF even more than them. So we’re totally in favor of it.

Earlier this year, Trump said that he planned to implement on insurance companies requiring that they pay for IVF treatment.
