This is Arizona State Senator Eva Burch. On the Arizona Senate Floor, I recently shared that I was making the decision to have an abortion because my pregnancy was non-viable. It's not a moment that anyone wants to share, but I knew my story needed to be told.
Then earlier this week, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled to uphold a law from 1864, effectively banning abortions across the state.
Yesterday, Republicans blocked Democratic attempts to repeal this dangerous and harmful law.
In the Arizona State Legislature, I have always fought to protect abortion access. This year, I'm grateful for the Progressive Change Campaign Committee's help with my tight re-election campaign and their work to elect more pro-choice Democratic legislators across the country. We need more pro-choice legislators to ensure we can protect abortion rights everywhere.

My story is not uncommon, but with extreme Republicans' relentless attacks on abortion access and reproductive freedoms, access to care around the country has been threatened.
Laws like we now have in Arizona prevent countless Arizonans from receiving critical reproductive healthcare. It will even create criminal penalties for doctors who provide abortion care.
We must show Republicans that their attempts to interfere in these deeply personal matters should be left to a patient, their family, and their doctor.
With gratitude,
– Eva Burch, Arizona State Senator
