Polling shows strong support for IVF as the issue gets exploited politically after the Alabama Supreme Court's controversial ruling in February.
Donald Trump won Alabama by a 27-point margin in the 2016 presidential election, and then came back with a 25-point win in the state during the 2020 contest.
The biggest factor determining whether IVF consumes the remainder of the presidential race is whether the Alabama State Supreme Court rules, anew, on the matter. According to Corinn O’Brien, founder of Fight for Alabama Families, 155 families have successfully used IVF to achieve pregnancy since the IVF immunity law was passed in March.
The Democrats are also connecting Trump, who appointed three conservative justices to the U.S. Supreme Court who were instrumental in overturning Roe, to the upending of IVF in Alabama. Republicans say the Democrats are not being accurate in their assessments and political posturing. They note that Trump has stated that IVF should remain legal.
In 2021, three couples filed lawsuits in Mobile County blaming the Center of wrongful death, negligence, and breach of contract.“If you look at what really happened in Alabama, this court case originated with families asking for help and a redress of grievance after they were victimized, losing the children they had hoped and prayed to bring into this world,” Wahl said.
Belt said for Republicans, part of the political problem has to do with the fact they are having to explain the nuances of the issue that are polling well for Democrats.Tim Walz speaks during a rally with Kamala Harris at Detroit Wayne County Metropolitan Airport in Romulus, Mich. on Wednesday, Aug. 7 2024.Belt also noted the IVF stance of conservative religious organizations, which muddy the political waters for Republicans on the issue.
