Senator Lucas is a hard act to follow.

Last week, I ended a show we did an abortion with a speech.

And I'm going to strike a little bit different tone because I am a woman and I am here to

speak for myself and for all the other women in this chamber.

This is Georgia State Senator Jen Jordan back in March when the state's so-called heart

beat law was up for debate.

Senator Jordan is a Democrat pro-abortion.

When she got up to speak, she knew she wasn't going to change any minds.

But it seemed like she wanted to go down fighting.

My husband and I were talking about this bill the other night and he told me that he didn't

want me to share anything personal because no one was entitled to that information.

And I have always fiercely guarded my privacy.

About ten minutes in, Jordan starts defending abortion by opening up about her.

Her own eight miscarriages.

I have seen what many of you in here have called a heart beat ten times.

But I have only given birth twice.

I have lost seven pregnancies and varying points of time before twenty weeks and one after

five months.

Her name was Juliet.
