Review Bill

Take Action

What to do now:

Tell Mark 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.

“It is a challenging, incredibly challenging situation for an unplanned or an unwanted pregnancy and we think that is certainly we want to take care of as best we can, but not at the expense of ending the life.” Rep. Newton. Representative Newton says this bill is a compromise “We have protection if the life of the mother is at serious threat. We have situations with heinous crimes where we’ve made some exceptions, with medical futility where we’ve made some adjustments, that everybody is not happy about,” said Rep. Newton “There was a saying awhile back about making abortions legal but rare and believe it or not abortions are still legal in Georgia up until there is a detectable heartbeat.”

“We’ve made great strides in our protection of unborn daughters and sons over the past several years. We’ve made great strides in taking care of women with planned or unplanned pregnancies. I think Georgia is well placed to compassionately take care of both women and unborn daughters and sons.”

Review Bill

“On Thursday, the Georgia General Assembly passed legislation to protect the unborn. I was proud to speak in support of HB481, the Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act, which ensures that all Georgians have the opportunity to live, grow, and prosper. We are a state that values life and HB481 will shield the innocent and most vulnerable among us.”
