and of course, corey bush is someone whose reaction, i think it is important to highlight. she's one of a few members. by a few, i mean three or four members in this body in the house who have actually accessed abortion care. when she was 17, a pregnancy that resulted from a rape. she's only just become public about telling this story. she told it to me for the first time ever on camera back in september, rather, in september or october of last year, alongside several other democratic lawmakers. but hers is a reaction that i think is important. aside from the politics, i asked her, as someone who has had to make this choice. what it feels like to see this happening now in this country. and she said that she's just furious. and it is something that we've heard echoed from the handful of other female lawmakers who have been in the position to make this decision. i mean, the first person that i thought of when this draft opinion leaked was congresswoman barbara lee who had a back alley abortion in mexico before protections from roe were in place. and there was palpable fear in

they had to make themselves once, and some shared stories of terminating pregnancies including corey bush who spoke about being raped at the age of 17. >> choosing to have an abortion was the hardest decision that i ever made, but at 18 years old i knew it was right for me, and freeing knowing that i had options and even still, it took long for me to feel like me again until recently when i decided to give this speech, to all of the black women and girls who have had abortions and will have abortions, we have nothing to be ashame of, and as that nurse or that pastor and as that activist and that single mom and that congresswoman who testified in the summer of 1994 that i was raped and i became pregnant and i chose to have an abortion. >> and just before, i spoke with the congresswoman about the testimony and the potential ramifications. congresswoman bush, thank you for joining us, and this is obviously incredibly personal for you, and how has your own experience influenced you how you viewed the news in the last 24 hours? >> it was a gut punch, because i was not expecting to hear anythin
