Donald Trump called himself the “father of conception” and bragged about his vigorous campaign schedule in one of his final pleas to voters to give him a second term.
In front of thousands of supporters in the swing state of North Carolina, Trump tried to cut his rally to 30 minutes, but was encouraged by the crowd to end his third rally of the day in his long style.
Trump claimed to be a staunch defender of access to in vitro fertilization (IVF), while Democrats say he wants to abolish the treatment because some more radical pro-life views believe that destroying fertilized embryos is a form of abortion.
“Fertilization – I am like the father – I consider myself the father of fertilization,” the former president said during his rally in Greensboro just three days before the 2024 presidential election.

Trump had previously called himself the “father of IVF.”
Trump also held a rally in Gastonia, North Carolina and one in Salem, Virginia on Saturday before heading to Greensboro to wrap up his final campaign Saturday before the election.
During his speech at the First Horizon Coliseum on Saturday evening, Trump said, “If I don’t win this case after all this talk, I’m in trouble.”
He repeatedly urged those in the red-leaning swing state to vote if they hadn’t already done so.
“I hope to God you’ll get out your vote and vote,” the former president said at one point.
After taking a poll on who has already voted versus who will vote on Tuesday, Trump said, “I’m going to vote on Tuesday too.”
He also assured voters that his vigorous campaign schedule — from which he hasn’t taken a day off in 62 days — is not about making more money.
“I didn’t come here looking for your money. I don’t want your money. “All I want you to do is get out and vote,” Trump told his supporters.
Supporters booed when Trump asked if he could interrupt his rally after a strong day of campaigning, just three days until the 2024 presidential election

“I wanted to ask you if I might make a very shortened version, and will everyone be happy with it?” he asked.
But the crowd booed, making it clear they did not want Trump to interrupt his rally.
“I didn’t think so,” the presidential candidate replied playfully.
Although Trump says he is confident he will win the election, he fears it will be at stake.
“If you win a lot, you can still lose a little,” the ex-president claimed.
