Bill Hitchens

State Representative,
Georgia House District 161

Take Action

What to do now:

Tell Bill how important abortion rights are to you:

This legislator has made their anti-choice position clear. They intend to enact laws that would further limit access to abortion.

What to say:

Call your legislator to share how important abortion rights are to you. While you're on the phone, try to gain a deeper understanding of their exact position.

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Emphasize your role in the local community.
  • Explain why abortion rights are important to you.
  • Ask if they will commit to voting for any legislation that will protect the right to an abortion.
  • If they say no, ask which abortion restrictions they are pushing for.

The latest from Bill

On the topic of abortion, his viewpoints coincide with his past roles. “I dealt with it in law enforcement,” said Hitchens. “If you kill someone, or you have an accident where you’re at fault and it happens to be a female that’s pregnant, you get charged with two deaths.”
