Woman's Near-Death Experience During Abortion Sparks Criticism of Texas Senators.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Dallas Morning News
Amanda Zurawski, a woman from Austin, Texas, who was denied an emergency abortion and developed a life-threatening infection, testified at a Senate Judiciary hearing and blamed Texas Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn for her ordeal and potential infertility. She and four other women have sued the state seeking clarity on when doctors can legally perform the procedure. Both senators have long supported curbs on abortion access, and like nearly all Senate Republicans, both supported the three Trump-named justices whose confirmations paved the way for the Supreme Court to strike down Roe v. Wade in June.
