However, former US President Donald Trump’s remarks during the conversation contained inaccuracies as the court did not declare IVF clinics to be illegal but ruled that the frozen embryos should be legally considered as children. Following this court ruling, some clinics eventually led to halt treatments due to legal concerns.

NBC News reported that Donald Trump’s comments drew criticism, particularly from US Vice President Kamala Harris who asserted Donald Trump’s self-proclamation as bizarre while emphasizing the fact that numerous couples relying on IVF are now facing uncertainty due to restrictive reproductive rights laws.

However, Donald Trump’s campaign later clarified that his ‘father of IVF’ claim was made to show his support for fertility treatments.
