Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke speaks on the Texas abortion laws as other speakers listen behind him during a press conference held at Houston Women's Reproductive Services Thursday, Aug. 25, 2022 in Houston, TX.Going into the final week of early voting, Democrat Beto O’Rourke is once again trying to make the case that Gov. Greg Abbott went too far when he signed an abortion ban in Texas that has almost no exceptions.
In a 60-second ad that will start later today, O’Rourke features Amanda and Josh Zurawski of Austin who explain that when she was 18 weeks pregnant, she had complications that led to a miscarriage. But because of the state’s abortion laws, Amanda said doctors told her they couldn’t do anything to help her until the miscarriage happened or that her life was at risk.
“I became so sick that I developed sepsis,” she says. “It was a direct result of the restrictive anti-abortion laws in Texas.” She adds, “how is this pro-life if I have to wait to get so sick that I almost die and I might not be able to have children in the future?” The abortion restrictions signed into law last year by Abbott, a Republican, bans the procedure from the moment of fertilization unless the pregnant patient is facing “a life-threatening physical condition aggravated by, caused by, or arising from a pregnancy.”
