'A Democrat Just Won A Trump-Won District': Gavin Newsom Says GOP's IVF Stance Led To Democratic Victory In Alabama

Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) pointed out the political repercussions following a contentious IVF decision in Alabama, highlighting a significant Democratic victory.

What Happened: On Wednesday, Newsom took to X, formerly Twitter, to comment on the political landscape in Alabama. He noted that the Republican stance on in vitro fertilization (IVF) had an unexpected outcome as a Democrat, Marilyn Lands, triumphed in a district previously won by former president Donald Trump with a staggering 30-point lead.

He wrote, “Republicans in Alabama went after IVF. The result? A Democrat just won a Trump-won district by 30 POINTS. Congrats, @MarilynForAL!”

Why It Matters: The victory in Alabama comes amid ongoing debates around reproductive rights, a contentious issue that has seen the GOP and Democrats at odds. Previously, Newsom criticized the GOP for their claims about Democrats’ stance on abortion, labeling them as “total B.S.” and a political fabrication.

Adding to the controversy, a recent decision by the Alabama Supreme Court sparked a nationwide discussion on reproductive rights, with former Trump urging Alabama lawmakers to ensure the availability of IVF.

Moreover, the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments that could potentially overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, further intensifying the debate on abortion and reproductive health services in an election year. This legal battle includes challenges to the safety of the abortion pill, mifepristone, which is used in a significant number of abortion procedures in the U.S.
