Cori Bush shares personal story of sexual assault as a teenager and decision to have an abortion
CNN
Rep. Cori Bush on Thursday shared her personal experience of how she was raped as a teenager, became pregnant and chose to get an abortion.
It was one of the first times that Bush, a Missouri Democrat, has spoken publicly about it and her decision to have an abortion.
Bush's comments came during a House Oversight Committee hearing Thursday called by the Democratic chair Carolyn Maloney to "examine the threat to abortion rights and access" posed by the US Supreme Court and "extreme anti-choice state governments," in the wake of the Texas 6-week abortion bill.
