What the Supreme Court did, and what the 11th circuit suborned today was essentially saying that women in Georgia are now second-class citizens.

What has been done with abortion rights is an assault on our liberties. But we can and will fight back. We can organize. We can vote.

Brian Kemp both refuses to expand Medicaid in an act of cruelty that defies understanding.

Brian Kemp is so dangerous to Georgia. He`s dangerous to the women of Georgia. He`s dangerous to the families of Georgia. He`s dangerous to the economy of Georgia.

Georgia is the tip of the spear. And if we can stop these laws here in Georgia, if we can reverse this trend, we can do so much not only to protect the women of Georgia, but to protect women in the south.

And if you`re a Black woman, then your likelihood of dying is three times higher.

Right now, women are in extreme danger. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp passed a law in 2019 that he gleefully signed that eliminates access to the right to an abortion after six weeks.

We know that the right to choose should not be divvied up among states. And that the sinister practice of taking constitutional rights and allowing each state to decide the quality of your citizenship is wrong. Women deserve bodily…

Women today lost the right to make our own health care decisions, and the right to shape our own futures. As a woman, I am appalled. As a Georgian, I am enraged. As an American, I am disgusted by this abdication of all we hold dear.

Unfortunately, Georgia remains in the center of conversations about voter protection and voter integrity, in part because, while we had two leaders who did the right thing for one day on the issue of certifying that election, Brian Kemp…

We need a governor who believes in both public safety and justice. It’s going to invest in our public safety officers, but also invest in our communities.

We know that Ruby Freeman has faced untold peril. That she faced threats. But what she needs to know is that as the next governor of Georgia, my plan is to make certain that she has the protection she needs.

Four years, Brian Kemp is taken Georgia backwards. He put us backwards on guns, said law enforcement, and made it easier for criminals to carry guns in public. He wrote back women’s rights, vowing to make abortion a crime with ten years in…

What is happening is that people are looking at one metric and trying to extrapolate an entire narrative. And the narrative is very clear, voter suppression is not about stopping voting. It is about impeding certain voters from…

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.

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.

I have yet to hear them articulate a plan for the future of Georgia. I have yet to hear them talk about why they will not expand Medicaid and provide coverage to half-a-million Georgians.

We have to remember that voter suppression isn't about stopping every voter. It's about blocking and impeding those voters who are considered inconvenient.

I will take responsibility for who I am and for what I do. And I want to be the governor who takes responsibility for lifting the state up to the greatness that we deserve.

What I am willing to do is make sure every voice is counted, every vote gets cast. And even if they don’t vote for me, I’m going to fight to make sure our democracy works in Georgia, because that’s what leadership looks like.

And so, for me, the issue was this. You can either listen to him fight about my record -- I mean, my rhetoric, or we can ask him about his record. And Brian Kemp's record is a failed record of leadership. And it is time for him to retire.

Geography should not determine the quality of your humanity.

You cannot believe that it is OK to steal the ability of women to have bodily autonomy and say that you believe in human civil rights.

I believe in the right to an abortion. And this is something I came to over many years.

Georgia in 2019, as you pointed out, passed a forced pregnancy bill, a ban on all abortions after six weeks with very limited exceptions. And what that ban reveals is their intention going forward.
