State Sen. Eva Burch called on the legislature to pass new laws.
"Right now the safest and most appropriate treatment for me -- and the treatment that I choose -- is abortion. But the laws that this legislature has passed has interfered with my ability to do that," state Sen. Eva Burch, a Democrat, said on the Senate floor Monday.
"I am safe and loved and protected in my marriage but I cannot imagine how inappropriate that would be for a victim of sexual assault, or for someone who has an abusive or coercive relationship with their partner -- another unwanted vaginal penetration, but this time by the state, by the people who are commissioned to protect us," Burch said.Abortion is prohibited after 15 weeks in Arizona, but other restrictions in place limit patients' access to care.
Burch said the counseling she received was "a list of absolute disinformation" and she was told multiple things that do not apply to her situation, all due to state laws.But her story did not end there. Burch also revealed to her colleagues that this will not be her first abortion. A protestor holds a sign reading 'My Body My Choice' at a Women's March rally where Arizona Secretary of State and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs spoke outside the State Capitol on October 8, 2022 in Phoenix, Arizona.The night before her previously scheduled abortion she began to miscarry.
