Earlier this year, the Alabama Supreme Court determined that frozen embryos are protected by the state's Wrongful Death of a Minor Act. The court ruled that embryos created through IVF and kept frozen are protected by state law, reversing a lower court decision.

In response to the ruling, Trump wrote on his Truth Social network that he "strongly support[s] the availability of IVF for couples who are trying to have a precious baby." He vowed that under his leadership, "the Republican Party will always support the creation of strong, thriving, healthy American families."

"We want to make it easier for mothers and fathers to have babies, not harder!" he wrote.

Some pro-life advocates view the practice as immoral because it often results in the deaths of unborn children when embryos are discarded or fail to survive being frozen and thawed.
