WATCH: Pregnant Arizona Lawmaker Announces on Senate Floor That She is Getting an Abortion, Says Baby is Non-Viable
Democrat Arizona state Sen. Eva Burch has announced that she is getting an abortion for a pregnancy she says is non-viable.
Sen. Burch, 43, made the bizarre announcement while speaking on the Senate floor.
“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,” Burch said in her floor speech.
Burch claimed that she has had a “rough journey with fertility” and has been pregnant “many times.”
She has two living sons.
The lawmaker also revealed during her speech that she had an abortion for a “non-viable” pregnancy during her senate campaign.
