Faith & Freedom Coalition chair Ralph Reed says he's “very comfortable” with Trump’s IVF comments

 Ralph Reed of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, the powerful conservative evangelical political advocacy group, told CNN's Kasie Hunt in an exclusive interview that he is "very comfortable" with Donald Trump's position on abortion and the former president's recent statements that he is the "father of IVF."

“I know the president personally. I’ve talked about him, talked with him about this issue for years, frankly, and I have no reservations at all,” Reed said on “CNN This Morning” of the former president’s stance on abortion. “I know that he’s pro-life personally. I know that he’s the most pro-life president in American history.”

The Faith & Freedom Coalition chair cited the political difficulties of passing such legislation in the first place when pressed on Trump to finally declare he would veto a federal abortion ban earlier this month after waffling on the question.

"As far as the public fetus removal regulation, we surely favor that and we would wish that any president would sign it, however actually you want 60 votes in the Senate," Reed said. " Also, that is not liable to occur for the time being."

Reed referred to the abortion policies of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris as "radical" and "extreme," asserting that Harris wants to go beyond Roe v. Wade and offer taxpayer-funded abortions without restrictions.

He stated, "Kasie, the contrast could not be sharper, could not be more dramatic for these voters of faith, and that is why I think they’re coming and they’re going to come in record numbers."
