Senator Lucas is a hard act to follow.

Last week, I ended a show we did on abortion with his 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 heartbeat 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. 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 10 minutes in, Jernan starts defending abortion by opening up about her own

eight miscarriages.

I have seen what many of you in here have called a heartbeat 10 times, but I have only given

birth twice.

I have lost seven pregnancies and varying points of time before 20 weeks,

and one after five months. Her name was Juliet. I have laid on the cold examination table while a doctor desperately looked for a heartbeat.

I have been escorted out the back door of my physician's office.

So as not to upset the other pregnant women in the waiting area,

my grief on full display and uncontainable.

Her words are powerful, but when I listened,

it was really her tone that made me pay attention.

Jurdon projects this mastery over her rage.

She ends with a warning to her colleagues.
