Women share personal stories of struggle, pain after Roe revoked
The convention turned its focus on the state of reproductive rights in the country following the 2022 Supreme Court decision that overruled Roe v. Wade.
Following a video that featured clips of Trump touting his stance on removing Roe, three groups of people spoke about their personal stories dealing with the fallout from laws passed in states that banned abortions.
Josh and Amanda Zurawski of Texas talked about how she was forced to wait three days to get an abortion after she miscarried. Amanda was "shaking, disoriented and crashing," before doctors were able to treat her, according to her husband.

"I was lucky. I lived. So, I'll continue sharing our story, standing with women and families across the country," she said.
Kaitlyn Joshua of Louisiana talked about how two emergency rooms turned her away after she miscarried because of the state's abortion bans.

"I was in pain, bleeding so much my husband feared for my life. No woman should experience what I endured, but too many have," she said. "Our daughters deserve better. America deserves better."
Hadley Duvall discussed getting pregnant at 12 after being sexually abused by her stepfather.
Duvall, 22, said she was grateful she had options, but that is not a reality for many girls today "because of Trump's abortion bans."

"He calls it a beautiful thing. What is so beautiful about a child having to carry her parent's child?" she said.
"There are other survivors out there who have no options. And I want you to know that we see you. We hear you," she added.
