Where we stood in Georgia prior to Brian Kemp was a 20-week ban, that I also found deeply objectionable. But what Brian Kemp has done is go so far afield that 72% of women — 72% of Georgians disagree with what we have right now, which is almost a total ban.
We demonstrated that there are voices that have long been ignored that can have volume and have effect.
I am tired of hearing about being the best state in the country to do business, when we are the worst state in the country to live.
Today, women in Georgia lost the right to choose their futures. We are now being governed by one of the most extreme abortion bans in the nation.
