Here's the Republican plan

John, When the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, it will mark the first time that a fundamental right has been taken away at the federal level. But that doesn’t mean that other rights have not been chipped away at over the years. And if Republicans get their way, many more rig…

We're not giving up

  John –   If Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortion laws will be decided by each individual state.   That’s bad news, as many states have trigger laws that will automatically outlaw abortion entirely as soon as Roe is struck down. Here in Georgia, reproductive care will be much h…

How to help those who need reproductive care

  Real talk, John:   Reproductive justice is in jeopardy. The rights of women are imperiled.   Justice Alito’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade means the Supreme Court appears ready to rip reproductive rights away from women across the country – Constitutional rights that…
