Brett Carlsen/Bloomberg via Getty Images(WASHINGTON) -- As this week's Alabama Supreme Court ruling raised concerns on protections for in vitro fertilization treatments, former President Donald Trump is finally breaking his silence, calling on the state legislature "to act quickly to find an immediate solution to preserve the availability of IVF in Alabama."“We want to make it easier for mothers and fathers to have babies not harder, you know that. That includes -- and you saw this was a big deal over the last few days -- that includes supporting the availability of fertility treatments like IVF in every state in America,” Trump said at a massive arena rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina, on Friday.Trump went on to say he "strongly" supports the availability of IVF for couples."And today, I'm calling on the Alabama legislature to act quickly to find an immediate solution to preserve the availability of IVF in Alabama and I'm sure they're going to do that," he said.Trump continued, going on to say that he will always stand for life, which includes IVF.“The Republican Party should always be on the side of the miracle of life and the side of mothers and fathers and beautiful little babies have to be on that. IVF is an important part of that and our great Republican Party will always be with you. ”Trump's comments at his rally are nearly identical to what he posted on his social media platform earlier in the day.On Tuesday, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that "unborn children are 'children' … without exception based on developmental stage, physical location, or any other ancillary characteristics." Trump's comments on Friday avoided giving an opinion on the court's ruling that a frozen embryo is a child.The unprecedented decision from the court could impact the future of IVF treatments in the state -- and several IVF providers have paused parts of their care to patients for fear of legal risks.The state's attorney general said Friday that he does not intend to prosecute IVF providers or families in the wake of the ruling.Trump's comments also come after Biden's campaign directly blamed him for the decision, saying it was "only possible" because "Donald Trump's Supreme Court justices overturned Roe v. Wade." Trump appointed three conservative justices while he was president."Across the nation, MAGA Republicans are inserting themselves into the most personal decisions a family can make, from contraception to IVF. With their latest attack on reproductive freedom, these so-called pro-life Republicans are preventing loving couples from growing their families. If Donald Trump is elected, there is no question that he will impose his extreme anti-freedom agenda on the entire country," Biden-Harris campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement.What other Republicans are sayingSen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama garnered attention after he said he supported the court's decision because he believes there ought to be more children -- even though the ruling has led to the temporary pause of IVF services in multiple sites throughout the state."I was all for it, we need to have more kids, we need to have an opportunity to do that and I thought this was the right thing to do," Tuberville said at the Conservative Political Action Conference.Later, when pushed by MSNBC'S Dasha Burns on his message to women who are losing access to IVF, Tuberville replied: "Well, that's a hard one, it really is."In the aftermath of Tuberville's comments, the National Republican Senatorial Committee circulated a memo, obtained by ABC News, urging members to "express support for IVF" and to "campaign on increasing access.""A recent ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court is fodder for Democrats hoping to manipulate the abortion issue for electoral gain," the memo read. "There are zero Republican Senate candidates who support efforts to restrict access to fertility treatments. NRSC encourages Republican Senate candidates to clearly and concisely reject efforts by the government to restrict IVF."Kari Lake, running for Senate in Arizona, wrote on social media that she will "advocate for increased access to fertility treatment for women struggling to get pregnant" and that she was against restrictions.Dave McCormick, a Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, similarly posted that "IVF is a ray of hope for millions of Americans seeking the blessing of children. I oppose any effort to restrict it."Other Republicans have said Alabama's court correctly interpreted the law but that the law should be modified."People who want to have a family should have the government and the law on their side and the notion that discarded embryos and IVF somehow turn these people who want children and want families and want the American dream into criminals is really wrong," Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said on CNN."I disagree with the end state," Rep. Don. Bacon, a moderate Republican, said when asked about the court's decision during an NBC News Now interview. "I think the court ruling is interpreting the law so Alabama will probably have to modify the law to make this permissible and we would want that."ABC News' Sarah Beth Hensley, Isabella Murray, Rachel Bade, Brittany Shepherd, Tia Humphries and Lauren Peller contributed to this report.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

World - HITS FM

Luis Diaz Devesa/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- More than four months since Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7, the Israeli military continues its bombardment of the neighboring Gaza Strip.The conflict, now the deadliest between the warring sides since Israel's founding in 1948, shows no signs of letting up soon and the brief cease-fire that allowed for over 100 hostages to be freed from Gaza remains a distant memory.Here's how the news is developing. All times Eastern:Feb 19, 12:24 PMIDF strikes Hezbollah weapon storage facilities, terrorist infrastructureThe Israel Defense Forces said its fighter jets hit two Hezbollah weapons storage facilities in Lebanon on Monday.The IDF said this was in response to the unmanned aerial vehicle launched toward northern Israel earlier in the day, and the Israelis believe it was most likely launched from Lebanon by Hezbollah.The IDF also said its fighter jets have struck some Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure in Lebanon on Monday.Feb 19, 8:25 AMGaza's health ministry accuses IDF of turning Nasser Hospital into 'military barracks'Israeli troops have turned Nasser Hospital, the main medical center serving the southern Gaza Strip, into a "military barracks" and are "endangering the lives of patients and medical staff," according to Gaza's Hamas-run Ministry of Health.The health ministry said Monday that there are 136 patients and 25 medical staff inside Nasser Hospital who are now without electricity, water, food, oxygen and treatment capabilities for difficult cases since Israeli ground troops raided the facility in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis last week. The World Health Organization, which warned on Sunday that Nasser Hospital "is not functional anymore," is helping evacuate the remaining patients to other facilities to receive treatment, according to the health ministry.The Israel Defense Forces alleges that Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that governs Gaza, has been conducting military operations out of Nasser Hospital and other medical centers in the war-torn enclave -- claims which Hamas denies.-ABC News' Morgan WinsorFeb 19, 7:53 AMIDF arrests 200 suspects at Nasser Hospital in southern GazaThe Israel Defense Forces said Monday that it has arrested 200 suspects at Nasser Hospital in the city of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.Israeli ground forces stormed the hospital last week, looking for members of Hamas who the IDF alleges have been conducting military operations there. Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that governs Gaza, has denied the allegations.Nasser Hospital is the main medical center serving southern Gaza and was -- until now -- the only fully functioning hospital in the war-torn enclave. The World Health Organization said Sunday that Nasser Hospital "is not functional anymore" after Israeli troops raided the facility.-ABC News' Jordana Miller and Morgan WinsorFeb 19, 4:45 AMIDF continues ground operations in Khan YounisThe Israel Defense Forces said Monday morning that its ground troops and special forces are "continuing to operate" in the western part of Khan Younis, a city in the southern Gaza Strip.The IDF said its ground troops conducted "targeted raids on terror targets" in western Khan Younis over the past day, "during which AK-47s, drones, an RPG, explosive devices, and additional military equipment were located." The soldiers on the ground also coordinated with the Israel Air Force's fighter jets overhead to kill "terrorists who were operating adjacent to the troops in the area," according to the IDF."During additional activity in western Khan Yunis, IDF ground troops used a drone to identify a terrorist cell that was approaching the troops," the IDF said in a statement. "In response, the troops directed an aircraft to eliminate them. A short while after, four additional terrorists were identified in the area, who were also eliminated by an IAF aircraft."Meanwhile, the IDF said its special forces "encountered armed terrorists, conducted targeted raids on terror targets, seized weapons and directed a helicopter to strike and eliminate an additional terrorist."-ABC News' Jordana Miller and Morgan WinsorFeb 18, 4:02 PMMedicine for hostages, weapons found at Nasser Hospital: IDBoxes of medicine intended for Israeli hostages, a large number of weapons and a vehicle belonging to a kibbutz that was attacked by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7 were found during on raid at Nasser Hospital in Gaza, according to the Israel Defense Forces.The IDF said its forces located "medicines specifically designated for the Israeli hostages in Gaza, large quantities of weapons and a vehicle belonging to Kibbutz Nir Oz" during its operations in the Nasser Hospital.The IDF said it also apprehended "hundreds of terrorists and other suspects who were hiding in the Nasser Hospital, some posing as medical staff.""Boxes of medicine were found with the names of Israeli hostages on them. The packages of medicine that were found were sealed and had not been transferred to the hostages," the IDF said.-ABC Edward SzekeresFeb 18, 4:01 PMBrazilian president's comments prompt angry response from Israeli officialsBrazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has prompted the fury of Israeli officials by comparing Israel's war against Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip to the Nazi genocide during World War II."What is happening in the Gaza Strip with the Palestinian people has no parallel in other historical moments. In fact, it did exist when Hitler decided to kill the Jews," Lula said at a news conference Sunday at the 37th African Union Summit in Addis Ababa.Lula also condemned the suspension of humanitarian aid to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency in Gaza, calling for an investigation into what he described as "genocide.""It's not a war between soldiers and soldiers. It's a war between a highly prepared army and women and children," Lula said.The UNRWA is facing criticism and financial strain after Israel claimed 12 of the group's staff members in Gaza were implicated in Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel. The allegations prompted the United States, Germany, the European Union and other countries to suspend funding for the UNRWA.Lula's comments led to a swift and angry response from Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu, who issued a statement calling Lula's remarks "disgraceful and grave." Netanyahu condemned Lula for "this trivialization of the Holocaust.""Drawing comparisons between Israel and the Nazis and Hitler is to cross a red line," Netanyahu said, adding in a separate statement that Lula "has disgraced the memory of the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis, and demonized the Jewish state like the most virulent anti-Semite."-ABC News' Yael Benaya, Jordana Miller and Aicha El Hammar Feb 18, 5:59 AMGaza’s Nasser Hospital no longer 'functional,' WHO chief saysNasser Hospital "is not functional anymore" after Israeli forces raided the facility in the southern city of Khan Younis on Thursday, the head of the World Health Organization said.Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the U.N. health agency, said a WHO team was not allowed to enter the facility on Friday or Saturday "to assess the conditions of the patients and critical medical needs, despite reaching the hospital compound to deliver fuel alongside partners."There are still about 200 patients in the hospital, including 20 who need urgent referrals to other hospitals, the WHO chief said in a statement on X.Israel says it has apprehended about 100 suspected terrorists in the hospital, including 20 who it says participated in Hamas' Oct. 7 attack. The military says it is looking for the remains of hostages inside the facility and does not target doctors or patients.Gaza’s Health Ministry said a large number of medical staff were arrested by the Israel Defense Forces that turned the facility into military barracks.
