“The Republican leadership of the Georgia legislature refuses to hold public hearings on certain issues such as guns and access to abortion, so we held our own!

“It’s not the state’s job to determine if a woman intentionally caused her miscarriage, or to investigate a doctor who may have performed an abortion to save a mother’s life, or to force people to subscribe to one particular religious view on when life begins. It is the government’s job to protect our right to privacy, dignity, and personal belief. 70% of Georgians support safe and legal abortions. Today my colleagues and I announced new legislation to restore and extend those rights. We’re not giving up without a fight.”

“As a social worker, I have seen what happens when families don’t have the resources to care for a child. Ideally, every child should come into a family and community that is fully capable of providing all the love and support the child needs. A woman knows whether or not she is in a good place to provide this support, so she is in the best position to decide whether or not to continue a pregnancy. I will fight for continued access to abortion services.”

Children are expensive, and the ability to plan your families and plan those expenses allows people to move out of poverty,” So one of the things we’ve studied today is that when you force people to carry pregnancies to term, that’s expensive. You’re forcing these families, if they keep the child, you’re continuing the cycle of poverty. And Georgia already has a very weak safety net of family supportive policies, and so we’re going to add these children to what’s already a weak network, and that is very scary to me.

Signed a brief addressed to the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold abortion rights. Stating: “The constitutional precepts which State Legislators must protect include the principle enunciated by this Court, as firmly encompassed by the right to privacy, that a woman has the right to decide to terminate a pre-viability pregnancy without undue governmental interference…. “As a fundamental right guaranteed by the constitution, and one that strikes at the heart of ordered liberty and individual autonomy, a woman’s right to decide whether to terminate a pre-viability pregnancy should be insulated from the rhetoric and interests of groups whose sole purpose is to undermine Roe and eliminate the fundamental rights enunciated in that case….”
