Also on the first night of the DNC , three speakers Amanda Zurawski, Kaitlyn Joshua and Hadley Duvall shared their experiences with abortion, a central issue in November’s election. Zurawski was one of a group of women who sued Texas last year after they were denied abortions, even as their pregnancies posed serious risks to their health and were nonviable. Kaitlyn Joshua described her experience living through Louisiana’s abortion ban.
