Amanda Zurawski's life changed in 2022 when she experienced a miscarriage at 18 weeks of pregnancy and was denied timely medical treatment due to Texas's abortion ban. As her pregnancy was in distress, Zurawski endured a life-threatening condition and eventually became a prominent advocate against such legal restrictions. Rather than receiving necessary care, she faced severe health risks, ultimately leading to her long-term physical compromises. Her story exemplifies the broader impact of anti-abortion laws on women's health, leading her to become the lead plaintiff in a legal challenge against Texas's abortion ban.
I had to wait until the baby died inside me or for me to be on death's door before I could get care, she says.
It felt like they were trying to take away our voices, erase us from history, and silence us.
After sharing her story publicly, Zurawski became the lead plaintiff in the Center for Reproductive Rights' lawsuit challenging Texas's abortion ban.
Now my reproductive organs are permanently compromised, she says.
