Quote of the Day
““I don’t think Donald Trump can spell IVF, let alone understand what it means, because his own project 2025, which establishes a fetal personhood, would undermine and take away IVF treatment,” Healey said.”
During an interview in which Healey dodged questions about being Haris's AG pick, Healey was also asked if she would welcome a proposal by former President Donald Trump to require insurance companies to cover IVF treatments.
