Pleading for exemptions to 15-week abortion bill, Sen. Lauren Book reveals she was gang raped as a child

“Here’s the part you don’t know: When I was a young teen, not much older than 13, my abuser, who was a woman, took me to a friend’s house. There I was drugged. I was put in a room. And I was raped by multiple men,” she said. “I’ve not talked about this experience to anyone but my close family my close friends. Certainly never have I done so publicly. And I have never ever planned to. But for me, this is too important.”
