YouTube Description
as posted by the channelReps. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and Cori Bush (D-Mo.) testified on Sept. 30 at the House Oversight Committee hearing on abortion rights.
Bush said she had decided to have an abortion after she was raped at age 17 by a man she met on a church trip. Bush said that while the staff at the abortion clinic treated the White girls with respect, they spoke “like trash” to her and another young Black girl.
“To all the Black women and girls who have had abortions and will have abortions, we have nothing to be ashamed of,” Bush said. “We live in a society that has failed to legislate love and justice for us.
