"What happened to me...was horrific, but it's a direct result of the policies that they support. I nearly died on their watch..." A Texas woman who developed sepsis after she was denied an abortion called out senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn for their support of anti-abortion laws while testifying in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on reproductive rights on April 26. Because Texas law prohibits abortions unless a woman is facing “a life-threatening physical condition aggravated by, caused by, or arising from a pregnancy,” Zurawski said she was denied an abortion after being told her child would not survive. She then developed sepsis shortly afterward and was placed in the intensive care unit. Credit: CSPAN via Storyful
