Georgia Representative Introduces Bill to Ban Abortion

Earlier this week, I reported on some of the attacks on abortion access at the state level. Unfortunately another restrictive bill has been filed this week. State Rep. Bobby Franklin (R) introduced a bill in the Georgia House of Representatives that would ban safe abortion procedures at all stages of pregnancy. This dangerous bill is unconstitutional since it lacks an exception for the life and health of the woman.

Franklin has filed similar bills in the last three legislative sessions, but none have reached a vote in the state House.
