IVF is personal for Tim Walz and his family, as Harris touts reproductive rights

As states and Capitol Hill debate reproductive technology like in vitro fertilization, IVF is a personal topic for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and his wife, Gwen. 

It's because of IVF and similar fertility treatments, Walz says, that he has a family of four. Walz has spoken publicly about he and his wife's struggles with infertility, telling the Star Tribune in March that the couple underwent IVF procedures for seven years before Gwen became pregnant with their daughter, Hope. 

"It's not by chance that we named our daughter Hope," Walz told the Star Tribune.
