Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) signed a “heartbeat” abortion bill into law Tuesday, banning abortions six weeks after conception when a fetal heartbeat can first be detected.
“Georgia is a state that values life,” Kemp said before signing, per Fox News. “We stand up for those who are unable to speak for themselves.”
Georgia is just the latest in a string of states to push the extreme abortion legislation, with advocates banking on the conservative makeup of the Supreme Court to ultimately overturn Roe v. Wade should their laws be challenged all the way up to the highest court.
Thanks for spending my tax dollars in this manifestly unconstitutional law, you redneck goober.
Fine, strike it down and then we can rebuild it on the “religious freedom” ground. Abortion should be an issue about personal beliefs. Get those religious freaks out of women’s lives once and for all!
What’s next, menstruation patrols? “Miss please step out of the house!” “Drop the tampon!” “We need to preserve it as evidence!”
“Georgia is a state that values life,”
So much so that GA has executed 28 people since 2010.
Exactly! And when the religious right succeeds in overturning Roe, they can stay home at election time. There are a lot of one-issue Republicans.
