Let’s meet

Ed Setzler

State Senator,
Georgia Senate District 37

Republican

The proof:

Ed sponsored a bill that bans all abortions after a fetal heartbeat (around 6 weeks). It includes exceptions for medical emergencies and rape or incest (but only up to 20 weeks and if a police report has been filed).

Review Bill

Take Action

What to do now:

Tell Ed they do not represent you:

This legislator is dangerous. Their position on abortion is completely out of touch: advocating for some of the most extreme abortion bans being considered right now.

What to say:

Call your legislator and make it clear that they are going too far. Try to urge them to walk away from their most extreme positions.

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Emphasize your role in the local community.
  • Explain why you do not agree with their position. Personal stories that exemplify the problems these bans would create are helpful.
  • Ask if they will protect the right to an abortion in such cases.
  • If they say no, ask them how they plan to fund more public childcare and maternal healthcare.

“Enjoyed discussing #HB481 with @waberosescott today! We did not have nearly the time that the #prolife issue deserves, but one thing is for sure, Georgians recognize what science and common sense tell us: that helpless unborn children everywhere are worthy of #HumanRights, not destruction by the abortion industrial complex.”

We know life begins at conception. I think that's worthy of full legal protection," said the bill's author, Rep. Ed Setzler. "Certainly we can come together and recognize if there's a human heartbeat, that child's worthy of protection.
