State Rep. Tricia Cotham (R) is trying to rewrite history after leaving the Democratic Party to give the GOP a veto-proof majority on a 12-week abortion ban.
during the state’s Republican Party convention that the “hardest” thing about voting for the abortion ban is people pointing out that she had an abortion herself.“I think the hardest thing and the most unfortunate—deeply personal—and this is deeply wrong...I had a miscarriage, and a miscarriage in medical terms is called a spontaneous abortion,” she said.
Cotham appears to want to use medical jargon to suggest that people may be confused about how her pregnancy ended, but an induced miscarriage is definitely not spontaneous. And she’s erasing the crucial context in which she gave the speech—sharing her story to oppose a 72-hour waiting period for abortions. She said at the time “Abortion is a deeply personal decision. It should not be a political debate. My womb and my uterus is not up for your political grab.
