Democrat Tim Walz has slammed Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) over his record on reproductive rights issues, with the Minnesota governor sharing a personal message about his familys use of in vitro fertilization.

During a Thursday appearance on MSNBC s Inside With Jen Psaki, Walz recognized that it was World IVF Day before saying that he and his wife, Minnesota first lady Gwen Walz, had turned to IVF to expand their family.

Tim and Gwen Walz share two children: 23-year-old Hope and 17-year-old Gus Walz.

Todays IVF Day. Thank God for IVF my wife and I have two beautiful children, he said as he criticized Vance, Donald Trump s vice presidential running mate, for his policy positions on reproductive rights issues.

He thinks he needs to dictate that? Tim Walz continued.
