The latest from Ruwa

“It's actually very anti-family, Vance, when there's a possibility a parent can die because they cannot get an abortion. Keep Georgia out of your mouth.”

“Two years ago, SCOTUS struck down Roe v. Wade and as a result access to abortion care has become impossible for many. But, extremists haven't stopped and are now targeting IVF and contraception.”

“This is draconian. When Roe was overturned many of us sounded the alarm about the life threatening consequences of not being able to access abortion care. Now patients like Kate Cox have to flee to another state to stay alive.”

“Are we going to see attacks on abortion funds, on bail funds, other types of funds that provide resources for those attempting to navigate our increasingly expensive and complicated legal system? Romman said to the AJC.”

“Millions of Georgians have been left uninsured because Republicans refuse to expand Medicaid. Expanding Medicaid to ensure mothers have access to postpartum care is one of the most impactful steps we can take to help lower the maternal mortality rate. In Georgia, 78 counties don't even have an OB/GYN. That means that mothers in rural areas have to travel to other counties just to receive the care they need to live. On top of that, the recent attacks on abortion rights will only exacerbate these issues and result in more deaths. This is cruel. We should be expanding access to life-saving care for mothers in Georgia rather than trying to restrict access.”

“Additionally, we must repeal the state’s ban on abortion and undemocratic laws that undermine our right to vote. I believe in protecting reproductive choice and freedom. Reproductive healthcare, including abortions must remain accessible to the people of Georgia. Republicans have chosen to attack the rights of women and create a second class status for women in this country in light of the repeal of Roe v. Wade and the implementation of a strict abortion ban in Georgia. Women’s lives are placed at risk by this decision, and I will work to sponsor and support legislation that empowers women and ends these draconian restrictions. Our state has a maternal health care crisis, and Republicans have only made it worse.”

“Everyone deserves access to the healthcare they need including access to safe abortions. Unfortunately, Senator Lindsey Graham just introduced legislation which would ban abortions nationwide after 15 weeks laying the groundwork to pass a national abortion ban if they take control of the House and Senate this November. We cannot allow this to happen…”

“Everyone deserves access to the healthcare they need. Unfortunately, earlier today, a federal appeals court ruled that Georgia's anti-abortion bill - which was passed in 2019 by the Georgia legislature and signed by Governor Kemp - should be allowed to take effect. This means that most abortions will no longer be allowed in Georgia once a heartbeat can be detected, which typically occurs six weeks into pregnancy. Most women do not know they are pregnant at six weeks, and this will result in people not receiving the life saving care they need. …”
