Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and his wife struggled for years to have children before finding success in a method known as intrauterine insemination.

Walz is the highest profile political candidate to share a personal reproductive health story.

Democrats have already united on reproductive rights as their top election issue for 2024 .

Republicans have walked a thin line on addressing fertility treatments.

Democrats have an opportunity to leverage Gov. Walz ’s track record to bring men into other issues that politicians have traditionally treated as women's issues.

National polling shows likely voters are fairly split on party lines, in line with the gender gap in every presidential election since the 1980s .

Walz signed legislation in 2023 requiring schools to provide free menstrual products for grades 4-12 .
