The Trump administration, despite a Supreme Court order, continues to resist efforts to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a U.S. citizen wrongly deported to El Salvador. While claiming Abrego Garcia is “alive and secure” in El Salvador, the administration asserts a lack of jurisdiction to intervene, citing Salvadoran sovereignty. President Trump’s statement on Truth Social further suggests the U.S. considers the matter resolved, leaving Abrego Garcia’s fate to El Salvador. This stance follows a motion filed by Abrego Garcia’s attorneys to hold the administration in contempt for non-compliance with the court order.

Donald Trump’s self-proclaimed title of “fertilization president,” while seemingly promoting IVF access, is deeply unsettling given his administration’s history of undermining women’s reproductive rights. This includes overturning Roe v. Wade, restricting contraception access, and employing misogynistic rhetoric. Many women view his pronouncements not as a gift, but as a manipulative tactic within a broader patriarchal framework that controls women’s bodies. The juxtaposition of increased IVF access with the erosion of women’s autonomy evokes disturbing comparisons to Margaret Atwood’s *The Handmaid’s Tale*. Such policies are ultimately framed within a broader pronatalist agenda fueled by figures like Elon Musk and JD Vance, rather than genuine support for women’s health and choice.
