Amanda Zurawski and her husband Josh had tried for a year and a half to have a baby, and were “over the moon” when they found out she was pregnant.
However, their dream soon became a nightmare. She suffered severe complications from her pregnancy, and was told “…with 100% certainty, we were going to lose our baby,” she said in Charlotte on Wednesday.
Zurawski, who lives in Austin, Texas, needed access to abortion care to safely end her pregnancy, but says Texas’ extreme abortion ban prevented her from accessing this care, and it nearly ended her life.
“What I went through was nothing short of barbaric, and it did not need to happen. But it did because of Donald Trump,” Zurawski said, referring to the former presidents role in overturning Roe v. Wade.
