[See NewsBusters for more.] On Thursday's Stephanie Ruhle Reports, congressional correspondent Ali Vitali joined guest host Chris Jansing to preview a House Oversight Committee hearing where three Democratic congresswomen would share their personal stories in an effort to gin up support for abortion. As part of the preview, the three gave an exclusive interview with MSNBC to help them do just that.

According to Vitali, the goal of Reps. Cori Bush, Pramila Jayapal, and Barbara Lee is to "use their experiences as a sign of their expertise and what they bring to this policy debate. Their hope is that other women can see themselves reflected in their stories, but also that it can shake loose a partisan debate on abortion access at a time when we're seeing states restrict the right to abortion across the country."
