Let’s meet

James Burchett

State Representative,
Georgia House District 176

Republican

The proof:

James voted to pass 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 James 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 James

“It’s historic to be involved in this. I was happy to be supportive of this bill (HB -481 Heartbeat Bill). No question in my mind this may be the most important legislation I have ever had a part in.”
