Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s wife, Gwen Walz, revealed her use of intrauterine insemination to conceive their children, highlighting the personal challenges of fertility treatment. The Trump campaign has accused Walz of misleadingly claiming they used in vitro fertilization. The controversy emerges amid political debates over reproductive rights and IVF, with Democrats pushing to protect IVF access nationwide. IUI is less invasive and costly than IVF and remains a first-line fertility treatment with a lower success rate but fewer ethical objections from some religious groups.
