“I felt very lucky to live in Massachusetts, in a state where our political leadership and community across the board has said we are going to protect women whatever it takes,” Wu said about her pregnancy to the Globe on Tuesday.
Mayor Michelle Wu opened up about her pregnancy journey at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Tuesday. Wu, who is currently pregnant with her third child, spoke on the importance of reproductive rights at an event with the New Hampshire’s delegation to the DNC.
“It reminds me how much there is still to fight for,” Wu said told the delegates, The Boston Globe reported.
Wu told the delegates her family used “assisted reproductive technology” to become pregnant with her third child. She’s also publicly spoken about the miscarriages she experienced between the birth of her second child and her current pregnancy.
Her revelation comes as debates concerning reproductive rights and in-vitro fertilization take center stage in the presidential race. The Democratic nominee for vice president, Tim Walz, has spoken about his family’s journey with fertility treatments that led to the birth of his daughter Hope.
