19-year old woman's waters broke after turning 15 weeks pregnant. they couldn't offer her an abortion while a 'heartbeat' still registered, even though the only outcome would be a dead fetus... it was just a matter of time... could be a few days, could be weeks; if weeks, the medical issues facing her could have been terrible.

'a completely unnecessary, physically and emotionally harrowing experience, not to mention likely financially draining'

The doctors sent the woman home. Collins explained what she was left to go through: “First, she’s going to pass this fetus in the toilet. She’s going to have to deal with that on her own.” Then, he says he was told, “There’s a greater than 50 percent chance that she’s going to lose her uterus; there’s a 10 percent chance that she will develop sepsis and herself die.”

“That weighs on me. I voted for that bill. These are affecting people,” Collins said, adding that he did not sleep the entire week he heard this story.

Collins ended his speech by pleading with his peers, choked up with tears, telling them, “What we do matters.” Glad he finally realized it.
