If we don’t act, Georgia is going to ban abortion

We need your help to elect Democrats in November Hi John, I’ll get right to the point – Georgia Republicans are trying to ban abortion in our state. If they're successful, abortion will remain illegal in Georgia unless we elect Democrats this November.  In 2019, the state passed HB 481 …
