Four people whose say their lives were jeopardized because of abortion bans enacted at the state level shared their personal stories at the Democratic National Convention. Included in the speakers is Amanda Zurawski, who unsuccessfully sued Texas when her request for an emergency abortion was denied.
From a rousing, passing-of-the-torch speech from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to a career-defining address from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, it was women — both the child-free and the moms — who mostly defined Day 1 of the Democratic National Convention. President Joe Biden’s keynote notwithstanding, it wasn’t a seasoned politician, former party leader or Hollywood A-lister who delivered the most moving moment of the evening.
We should not need to hear from a woman like Zurawski — who detailed just how excited she was to become a mom to Willow, only to go into early labor at 18 weeks and nearly die after she was denied a lifesaving abortion.
