"Donald Trump’s fulsome and creepy campaign-trail announcement that 'We want fertilization, and it’s all the way' came in the wake of revelations that the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade was not bringing about a new baby boom. (Who could have predicted that making abortion illegal and threatening the livelihoods of doctors who perform them would make intentional, wanted pregnancies even riskier, besides anyone who knew the first thing about reproductive care?) The unpopularity of the Dobbs vs. Jackson decision and the horrifying aftermath of patients bleeding out in parking lots and waiting rooms required Trump 2.0 to come up with a fresh, family-friendly spin on withholding reproductive choice and care."
