Like other states this week, Georgia passed a near-total abortion ban. But, unlike those other states, Georgia has a Hollywood presence
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp speaks during a press conference for the signing of HB 481 at the Georgia State Capitol building in Atlanta on May 7, 2019.
Staci Fox, the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Southeast, said she had one message for Kemp:"We will see you, sir, in court." Under current law, women in Georgia can seek an abortion during the first 20 weeks of a pregnancy. If it's not blocked in court,The measure makes exceptions in the case of rape and incest — if the woman files a police report first — and to save the life of the mother. It also would allow for abortions when a fetus is determined not to be viable because of serious medical issues.
But Democratic Sen. Jen Jordan said"there's nothing balanced about it: It's an all-out abortion ban." Dawson said anti-abortion protesters outside their clinic have become"bolder and more aggressive" toward patients.
