Amanda Zurawski testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday at a hearing entitled “The Assault on Reproductive Rights in a Post-Dobbs America”.
The hearing examined the effects of various abortion restrictions passed by a flurry of Republican activity in the wake of the Supreme Court decision last year overturning Roe v Wade.
“I wanted to address my senators, Cruz and Cornyn,” she said “I would like for them to know that what happened to me is a direct result of the policies they support.
I nearly died on their watch and I may have been robbed of the opportunity to have children in the future.”.
Both Texas senators are members of the Judiciary panel; however, neither bothered to attend her testimony during Wednesday’s hearing.
Other high profile cases have included a 10-year-old who fled the state of Ohio to seek an abortion after she was sexually abused. »
