Amanda Zurawski, a Texas woman suing the state after being denied an abortion, told senators that the denial of care damaged her mental health and potentially "robbed" her of the opportunity to have children in the future, according to CNN.
She addressed absent Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, telling them she "nearly died on their watch" because of the anti-abortion policies that they support during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on reproductive rights post-Dobbs, the Supreme Court decision that overturned the federal right to abortion last summer.
