, respectively, to hear from activists, lawmakers and other members of society on their perspectives on abortion access and S.B. 8.
Loretta Ross, reproductive justice activist and study of women and gender professor at Smith College, gave an unscripted testimony discussing her own experiences with sexual assault, abortion, and teen pregnancy. “After what seemed an eternity of confusion and fear, I found a very kind and brave doctor who was willing to help me by using the loophole allowed to a few women in that era of hypocrisy. ‘But you must promise me only two things,’ he said. ‘You must never tell anyone my name. And you must do what you want to do with your life.’”
. … S.B. 8 was the culmination of a decade of erosion of access to abortion healthcare with the intent of creating a de facto ban, without actually calling it a ban.” Representative Cori Bush , shared her personal story of sexual assault, and her resulting pregnancy and abortion at the hearing, as well as medical discrimination she faced as a Black woman. She stressed the importance and positive impact of having a choice in her life.
“Whether the choice to have an abortion is easy or hard, whether there are traumatic situations or not, none of that should be the issue—it is simply nobody’s business what choices we as pregnant people make about our own bodies.

This is a constitutionally protected, intensely personal choice.
. She stressed how the lack of sex education significantly impacted her experience, and how the only solutions she had heard about were all life-threatening methods until a family friend helped her get a medical abortion procedure in Mexico.
