Vice Presidential Candidate on the Democratic ticket, Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, took the opportunity in his acceptance speech to viciously lie to women about fertility. A sensitive subject, Waltz immorally tried to make women think Republicans want to take away their access to IVF fertility treatments.
Waltz spoke about his wife’s experience with using fertility treatments in order to conceive their two children: “I’m letting you in on how we started a family because this is a big part of what this election is about: freedom,” he said.
However, National Review explains the truth is that the GOP platform passed at the party’s own convention last month expressly stated support for IVF. “We will oppose Late Term Abortion, while supporting mothers and policies that advance Prenatal Care, access to Birth Control, and IVF (fertility treatments),” the platform reads.
Walz touted how he has “protected reproductive freedom” as governor of Minnesota, where he says, “We respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make and even if we wouldn’t make those same choices for ourselves, we’ve got a golden rule: mind your own damn business.”
He went on to claim “some folks,” like former president Donald Trump and Senator J. D. Vance, “just don’t understand what it takes to be a good neighbor.”
“Their Project 2025 will make things much, much harder for people who are just trying to live their lives,” said Walz, who falsely attributed the policy playbook to Trump, though the former president has repeatedly disavowed the plan written by the conservative Heritage Foundation.
Walz claimed that if Trump and Vance win in November, they will increase costs on the middle class, gut Social Security and Medicare, and “ban abortion across this country – with or without Congress.”
Even further proof of Walz’ misinformation is that Project 2025 does not include a national ban on abortion or cuts to Social Security and Medicare. In truth, the Republican policy platform passed last month says the issue of abortion should be left to the states now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade — a position that Trump himself has repeatedly espoused.
