IVF Back In The News

Ladies and gentlemen gather ’round because we’ve got another whopper from the Democrats’ newest poster boy, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. It seems the man has a knack for stretching the truth in the most blatant and embarrassing ways. Now that he’s been tapped as Kamala Harris’s running mate, all those pesky little details from his past are bubbling up to the surface, and boy, do they paint a picture.

Let’s start with his so-called “service” record. Whether it’s fibbing about a DUI arrest or inflating his rank when he retired from the military, Walz has shown time and again that he’ll say whatever it takes to climb the political ladder. Sound familiar? That’s because his running mate, Kamala Harris, is cut from the same cloth. Neither one seems to be burdened by principles—they’re too busy chasing power to bother with the truth.

But Walz has hit a new low, and this time it involves his own children and the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF). In a recent statement—posted, of course, to the Kamala HQ X account—Walz took a swipe at his Republican opponent, JD Vance, by dragging IVF into the mix. He claimed that conservative opposition to IVF meant that if it were up to Vance, Walz “wouldn’t have a family.”

Hold on a second—Walz says his kids were born through IVF? Well, not so fast. Because, as it turns out, that’s just not true. The New York Times dug into this and found that Walz didn’t use IVF at all. Instead, he and his wife used another procedure called Intrauterine Insemination (IUI). For those keeping score at home, IUI is a completely different process, and guess what? It doesn’t involve creating and discarding embryos, which is the very thing most pro-life folks object to about IVF.

So why the lie? Why would Walz deliberately mislead voters about something so personal? Simple: it’s all about politics. He wants to make it look like he’s personally affected by the conservative stance on IVF, even though he’s not. He’s trying to score cheap points by playing the victim, using his own children as political props in the process.

This isn’t even the first time Walz has tried this stunt. Earlier this year, he claimed that an Alabama Supreme Court ruling on frozen embryos was a “direct attack on my children.” Except, once again, his children were not born through IVF. When he posted about it on Facebook, he said, “Gwen and I have two beautiful children because of reproductive health care like IVF.” Notice the word “like” slipped in there—because he knows full well it wasn’t IVF.

This kind of behavior might be shocking if it weren’t so predictable. Walz and Harris are a match made in political heaven—two power-hungry opportunists who will say or do anything to get ahead, even if it means bending the truth about something as personal as their own family lives. They’re perfect for each other, and together, they represent everything that’s wrong with the Democratic Party today. So, buckle up, folks. With these two on the ticket, it’s going to be one wild ride.
