Congresswomen Frederica Wilson and Lucy McBath both felt called to share their stories in the fight to protect reproductive rights. During a congressional debate on abortion policy, Rep. Wilson spoke for the first time about carrying the dead fetus of her baby for more than two months in 1969, because her doctor was prohibited by law from inducing labor pre-Roe. At a House Judiciary Committee hearing on abortion, Rep. McBath recounted a similarly painful story of carrying her dead baby for two weeks in 1993 after suffering a fetal demise due to complications from fibroids.
