Democrats Barbara Lee (representative from California), Cori Bush (representative from Missouri) and Pramila Jayapal (representative from Washington) shared their personal life stories concerning abortions during a meeting of the House oversight committee on reproductive rights on Thursday, 30 September, The Guardian reported.
The narrations came one day after the same three Congresswomen had shared their stories to MSNBC's Joy Reid in an interview on Wednesday.
Representative Lee told the House committee that "a lot of girls and women" from her generation had "died from unsafe abortions" and her personal experience played a huge role in moulding her "beliefs to fight for people’s reproductive freedom," the report added.
