Democrats accusing Republicans of abortion extremism had the charge thrown back in their faces at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the Women's Health Protection Act, legislation that would lift virtually all limits on pregnancy termination.
He said this creates a need for federal legislation to “restore abortion access across America.”was really the beginning of a different debate: How far will the war on women’s health go before we say enough is enough?” he asked at the hearing titled “The Assault on Reproductive Rights in a Post-Dobbs America.”
He said he plans to reintroduce his legislation to place a 15-week gestational limit on abortions except in the cases of rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother, calling it a “national minimum standard.” “I wasn’t permitted to have an abortion. And the trauma and the PTSD and the depression that I have dealt with in the eight months since this happened to me is paralyzing,” said Ms. Zurawski, who has sued Texas over its laws banning most abortions.
Dr. Ingrid Skop, a pro-life obstetrician-gynecologist based in San Antonio, said Ms. Zurawski’s doctors “misunderstood Texas law,” saying that under the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists’ standard of care, they should have immediately sought to end the pregnancy.
