About this listen

Georgia has a long history of hostility toward reproductive freedom, with the state legislature having rejected many opportunities to make the state more egalitarian and improve protections for those with uteruses. Almost as soon as Roe fell, the Georgia legislature made an immediate move to pass a six-week abortion ban, a small political majority making life significantly more difficult for a huge part of their constituency. Furthermore, Georgians seeking abortions are confronted by a 24-hour waiting period and, when it is legal for them to abort, the procedures are not insured and the patient must pay out of pocket.

With anti-choice Governor Brian Kemp up for reelection in November, those registered to vote in Georgia should make their way to the polls and vote him out if we want to even begin to see progress.
