1:30Now PlayingDemocratic vice presidential nominee and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz spoke about the personal impacts of regulating fertility treatment at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Wednesday, a night focused on fighting “for our freedoms,” from democracy to reproductive rights and more.
In a speech accepting the nomination, Walz talked about his and his wife’s difficulties conceiving children.
“If you've never experienced the hell that is infertility, I guarantee you you know somebody who has. And I can remember praying each night for a phone call, the pit in your stomach when the phone had rang, and the absolute agony when we heard the treatments hadn't worked,” Walz said.
When it comes to reproductive rights, Walz says Minnesotans have a golden rule: “Mind your own damn business.”
