This past week has been a whirlwind of emotions. From finding out my very wanted pregnancy was non-viable, to making the decision to have an abortion, to sharing that decision with my colleagues on the Senate floor.

I am deeply grateful for the outpouring of support and compassion. Sharing my personal journey and experience was difficult, but I knew it needed to be told. My story is one of millions on how our laws have a real, lasting impact on families and individuals.

Abortions are health care. We need strong pro-choice voices to preserve our reproductive rights. Split a donation to keep me in the Arizona Senate and help elect pro-choice state Democrats across the country.

With extreme Republicans' relentless attacks on abortion access and reproductive freedoms, this fight is far from over. We must show Republicans that their attempts to interfere in these deeply personal matters should be left to a woman, her family, and her doctor.

When I first ran for office, I promised to fight and advocate for reproductive freedoms and ensure that politicians no longer dictate what choices a woman makes with her body. As a State Senator – that’s exactly what I have done.

But we need more folks in the state legislature who will push back against these extreme policies and instead create a state where every person has the autonomy to make their own decisions on their reproductive health.

We need to protect abortion access for the safety and health of our residents. Any amount you can contribute today will be split to help my campaign for Senate and to elect state Democrats nationwide who will fight for our reproductive rights.

With gratitude –

Arizona State Senator Eva Burch
