"Today, I rise to remind you that #SomeoneYouLove has had an #abortion.

I had to end a much-wanted pregnancy due to a diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy. There was no chance for the fetus to live, & if no action was taken, I would have died, also." — Sen. @rosemarybayer #MILeg 1/

@rosemarybayer “I’m grateful that Roe was in place so my doctor could do what they needed to do to protect my life and any future life I might create.”

— Sen. @rosemarybayer #SomeoneYouLove #AbortionIsHealthcare #MILeg 2/

"There are many other reasons to need an #abortion with devastating consequences without having that option — physical health, mental health, financial health — life itself can be at risk if we take this option away. "

— Sen. @rosemarybayer #FreedomToDecide #SomeoneYouLove 3/

"By having a legal precedent that protects #abortion, individuals & doctors can make the most informed decision about how to proceed in any given circumstance to keep in line with the person’s or family’s private & best wishes for their future."

— Sen. @rosemarybayer #MILeg 4/

"This is why I support the freedom of those who can become pregnant to make the decisions that are in the best interests of their health, family and future:

Because #SomeoneYouLove may someday need an #abortion." — Sen. @rosemarybayer on securing the #FreedomToDecide #MILeg 5/5
