Arizona State Senator Eva Burch (D) Announces Her Plans to Get an Abortion in speech on the Arizona Senate Floor

WASHINGTON — Just now, Arizona Democratic Senator Eva Burch announced her plans to utilize reproductive care on the Arizona Senate floor.

Citing her heartbreaking story of her pregnancy becoming unviable, Senator Burch said the following during her floor speech:

“I don’t think people should have to justify their abortions, but I’m choosing to talk about why I made this decision because I want us to be able to have meaningful conversations about the reality of how the work we do in this body impacts people in the real world…All that the legislature has done is to nurture distrust and confusion in the relationship between patients and providers.”

Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee National Press Secretary Sam Paisley issued the following statement:

“Arizona Senator Eva Burch sharing her decision to get an abortion is the epitome of courage. No woman should have to go through the emotional and physical hurdles she described – Arizona Republicans have passed unnecessary burdens on abortion care that put women in danger. Senator Burch’s story is powerful, but it is sadly not unique — patients across Arizona have to jump through hoops to get the care they need. There are very real, and sometimes even deadly, consequences to the attacks on reproductive freedom that Republicans across the country have launched. The DLCC commends Senator Burch for her advocacy and stands ready to defeat alarming GOP extremism in state legislatures in Arizona and across the country.”

3. Women should not have to justify their abortion.

Especially if they don't have a medical license to practice in the field of OBYGN, or don't have the financial details, life details, and other.

7. Last but not least...

...those people with penises should just shut their yaps!!!!

10. I hope that doesn't include me.

Men do need to be educated about the situation but still leave the decision to the woman if they are husband or boyfriend. They should provide the support. And more than likely they do except some of the boyfriends or those trying to control women.

11. Present company (and men who feel like you) excepted.

The men I am referring to are registered with the Grand Old Patriarchy, ahem, Party. They tend to be the fundagelicals.

8. I don't know why she is going to seek an abortion. I don't need to know why.

And neither does anyone else in this world. She shouldn't have take this action, but she is brave for taking this public and making this statement. More power to her. WOMEN UNITE!!!! WE WILL WIN THIS ELECTION.
