During the hearing, Lopez spoke highly about her decision to get an abortion, calling it one of the best choices she’s ever made.
“My abortion was the best decision I ever made,” the abortion storyteller said. “It was an act of self love.”
“And I’m here today to make sure that everybody who currently, who has had an abortion, or will need an abortion is not alone, no matter what the state tries to force upon us,” she continued.
Lopez also called abortion “healthcare.”
In addition to telling her abortion story as part of We Testify, Lopez is also the youth program manager for the abortion provider connecting service Jane’s Due Process.
Jane’s Due Process is based in Texas and offers to connect women in the state to abortion access.

According to their website, the organization has currently suspended “all services and support related to abortion care because of the uncertainty of the current state of the laws in Texas” after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
The organization also warns website visitors their computer use “can be monitored and is impossible to completely clear.”
