Arizona lawmaker says she plans to have an abortion after learning her pregnancy isn't viable

An Arizona lawmaker has announced plans to have an abortion after learning her pregnancy is not viable. The Arizona Republic reports fellow Democrats surrounded State Sen. Eva Burch as she made the announcement Monday on the Senate floor. Burch said she learned a few weeks ago that “against all odds” she was pregnant. But she said it's been determined it isn't viable and she has made an appointment to terminate the pregnancy. Burch says she doesn't think people have to “justify their abortions,” but she's talking about her decision because she wants lawmakers to have meaningful conversations about how their work impacts people.
