Gwen and Tim Walz Clarify Use of IUI, Not IVF, Amid Controversy
Aug 20, 2024, 08:20 PM
Gwen Walz, wife of Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, clarified that she did not use in vitro fertilization (IVF) but instead underwent intrauterine insemination (IUI) during her fertility treatments. This clarification comes after Tim Walz had previously suggested that IVF was used, a claim that has sparked controversy and criticism. The Walz campaign has stated that Tim Walz used 'commonly understood shorthand for fertility treatments' and did not intend to mislead. The issue has drawn attention amid ongoing debates over reproductive health policies. The controversy follows an Alabama ruling and an April fund-raising letter in which IVF was mentioned.
