“I am extremely saddened by the decision of the United States Supreme Court to overturn Roe v Wade. This decision undermines the ability of women being able to make a decision that is in their best interests. I fundamentally believe that the government should not be in the business of telling women what to do with their bodies. Ultimately, this decision puts women's lives in danger and at risk, and I will do everything in my power to support women and be a pro-choice candidate here in the great state of Georgia. This ruling will primarily and disproportionately affect women of color who may not have the resources to find high-quality health care where they live.”

Signed a brief addressed to the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold abortion rights. Stating: “The constitutional precepts which State Legislators must protect include the principle enunciated by this Court, as firmly encompassed by the right to privacy, that a woman has the right to decide to terminate a pre-viability pregnancy without undue governmental interference…. “As a fundamental right guaranteed by the constitution, and one that strikes at the heart of ordered liberty and individual autonomy, a woman’s right to decide whether to terminate a pre-viability pregnancy should be insulated from the rhetoric and interests of groups whose sole purpose is to undermine Roe and eliminate the fundamental rights enunciated in that case….”
