“We are not safe. These Republican abortion bans are nothing short of a death sentence for women. Georgia’s six-week abortion ban has claimed the life of Amber Thurman, a young mother who should be alive today. Every single Republican politician in Georgia who callously voted for this bill bears the weight of her loss on their shoulders.”

“Republicans have picked a right-wing, anti-abortion, pro-NRA extremist to run against me in November. Brian Kemp and the Georgia GOP have their eyes set on this seat, but their endorsed candidate didnt even make the run-off. Their Plan B is wildly out of touch with Gwinnett voters. I plan to fight and win again just as I did in 2022.”

“It’s great seeing Republicans get on board to protect IVF and following the lead of Democrats. Republicans are now agreeing to introduce legislation next year to protect the ability of Georgia families to grow their families— legislation that Democrats introduced in February. Now let’s bring that same energy to protect the right to contraception and abortion!”

“Democratic Senate Caucus Chair @elenaparent introduced legislation to protect the right to contraception and IVF back in February.

“Today should have been a day of celebration, the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a landmark decision that empowered millions of women and families across our nation. Instead, we find ourselves in the throes of a relentless war on women and families, waged by our governor and a Republican-led legislature hell-bent on turning back the clock on our rights. Georgia Democrats are fighting back and we wont stop until we repeal these draconian laws that limit women access to safe abortion care. We will fight for our reproductive rights and defend our reproductive freedoms.”

Sen. Nabilah Islam, who represents Georgia’s 7th Senate District, told the crowd that the group of allies and abortion supporters surrounding her should have been gathering to celebrate the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case granting the right to an abortion “without excessive government restriction.” Instead, they’ve been forced to fight the same fight as her grandparents. “We should be moving forward,” said Sen. Islam, expressing her full support of the act’s passage.

Georgia’s much-discussed new law on abortion is one of the most restrictive in the nation…This law goes even further, though: Although the intent of the law is to block abortion, it has opened a vigorous debate about whether women who miscarry could be questioned or even prosecuted." Women should be able to seek the full range of reproductive healthcare services without worrying about being arrested or investigated by the state.
