“When I was 18 years old and serving in the Air Force, I narrowly escaped being raped by a higher-ranking officer…. If I hadn’t managed to escape that day, and if I had gotten pregnant, I would have found myself facing a decision I never wanted to make — one that many of my fellow servicewomen did face. It’s a deeply personal decision, and I respect each of the decisions a woman might make in this situation. The fact is this: SB20 took my fellow servicewomens’ decision away. It took away health care from women in the military: the very troops that so many of my colleagues in the General Assembly claim to support.”
