Women are dying. We found proof that 17 Georgia legislators are perfectly fine with that.

Recent heartbreaking news from Georgia illustrates the real consequences of this dangerous trend. The tragic cases of Candi Miller and Amber Nicole Thurman, reported by ProPublica, should not be a surprise. Candi's death was entirely preventable, yet it was precipitated by a climate created by Georgia legislators who pursued a near-total abortion ban earlier that year. This legislation not only imposed draconian penalties, including a potential 10-year prison sentence for violators, but also ignored the health and safety of women like Candi, leaving them vulnerable in critical situations.

Pro-Publica: Candi Miller's death

The Georgia Legislature knew what it was doing.

Our Georgia research team uncovered documents showing that creating this environment was not an accident, but intentional. In signed documents gathered by Georgia Life Alliance, 17 Georgia legislators explicitly stated that there should be no exceptions to abortion bans—even in cases where the life of the mother is at risk. 

Furthermore, 52 legislators have signed a pledge asserting that they consider an embryo or fetus to have the same rights as a person, further complicating the issue and exacerbating the risks to maternal health.

We deserve to know where our legislators stand.

Our research team in Georgia is dedicated to uncovering the true positions of these candidates, even when they attempt to hide behind vague language. We believe that voters deserve to know where their local candidates stand on issues of reproductive rights. By clarifying these positions, we aim to empower constituents to make informed decisions at the ballot box.

The stakes have never been higher. The work we do is not just about politics; it's about saving lives. By electing pro-choice legislators, we can restore reproductive rights and prevent further tragedies like Candi’s. The future of reproductive health in Georgia—and across the country—depends on the choices we make today.

As citizens, we must demand transparency from our elected officials and hold them accountable for their positions on critical issues. It's time to stand up for the rights of women and ensure that no one else has to suffer the consequences of harmful legislation. Together, we can create a future where reproductive health is protected and where every woman's life is valued.
