Recently a constituent of mine shared a story of her close friend. She went into preterm labor at just 20 weeks and her doctors had devastating news. Her baby wasn't viable. But Under Arizona's draconian abortion laws she was told she would have to wait until her baby's heart stopped or she became seriously infected before her medical team would be allowed to intervene.
