AJC: Georgia Supreme Court allows abortion law to stay on the books [[link removed]]
Georgia’s Supreme Court upheld the state’s prohibition of abortion, John, which means that abortion remains banned in the state, with limited exceptions, after the sixth week of pregnancy — a point when most women have not yet even realized they are pregnant.
We all know that when the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision revoked the federal constitutional right to abortion, it kicked the question of abortion to the states to regulate. We've watched as a tidal wave of states enacted abortion bans , with many lawsuits filed to challenge the bans, and abortion rights lawyers arguing that the prohibitions are unconstitutional under state guarantees of privacy, health, liberty or family planning.
This is where state Supreme Courts come into play. Wherever these cases start, the state Supreme Courts are where they end up, and we need progressive judges to protect our rights, from a woman's right to make her own healthcare choices to voting to protecting the environment to worker's rights and so much more.
John: We have to work in Georgia and every state to support progressive judicial candidates. Chip in $25 or whatever you can right today break the GOP's hold on our courts and restore our rights >>> [[link removed]]

We NEED more progressives on the courts. Here's how:
➜ In 26 states -- including Florida, California, and Maine -- State Supreme Court justices are appointed. It's crucial that Democrats win and control governorships in these states to ensure progressive judges are nominated.
➜ In 22 states, like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, judges run in elections. We have to support progressive judicial candidates across the board to end the GOP domination of our state courts.
➜ We also need to pour resources into state legislatures who choose justices (like Virginia and South Carolina) or approve the judges nominated by the governors.
With your help, we can fuel our work on the ground to win state court seats and control state legislatures. Pitch in $25 or more to help progressives and Democrats win >>> [[link removed]]

In the wake of Donald Trump's presidency, we've seen hard-right judges stacked on the Supreme Court, federal courts, and state courts across the country, delivering devastating rulings that have weakened voting rights, gun reforms, climate protections, and completely overturned abortion rights.
We must fight back and put more Democrats on the courts. [[link removed]]
The Senate is the only body which can confirm federal judges and as such, Democratic control of the Senate is crucial to shaping judicial appointments. We must ensure the Senate stays in Democratic hands in 2024.
And in the states, we must pour resources into often highly contested judicial races that get little attention, but that have a wide influence on the daily lives of Americans.
Progress Courts PAC is working every day to hold the Senate and help elect progressive judges across the country, and we need your help.
