Texas Woman Blasts Senators Cruz and Cornyn for Near-Death Experience Due to Abortion Ban
Amanda Zurawski, one of five women suing Texas for denying them an abortion while facing pregnancy complications, criticized Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn at a Senate hearing, saying she nearly died due to the policies they support. Zurawski was diagnosed with an "incompetent cervix" and was told her baby would not survive, but was denied an abortion due to Texas's six-week abortion ban. She eventually went septic and delivered her child, who passed away. The lawsuit seeks to clarify medical emergency exceptions under the state's abortion ban.
