State senator Eva Burch used her time to show her colleagues the effects their restrictive policies had on her.
Burch rose at the end of a floor session on Monday to share her personal experience with an unwanted pregnancy and call for better legislation in Arizona, where abortion is outlawed after 15 weeks.
“Pregnancy is not a health-neutral condition,” she told the chamber. “We have to be honest about the balance of risk and reward, and why abortion can often be the right health care choice.” She added that Arizona’s strict abortion laws made it difficult for doctors and medical providers to make complex decisions with patients who needed them.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, she mentioned her current work in the opioid use disorder space, which has “its own set of complexities” when patients are pregnant.
