Georgia On My Mind

On the LAST day of session, Georgia Anti-Choice Elected Official are up to it again!

Instead of respecting the health decisions of women, elected officials are focusing on passing HB 147 (Ultrasound Bill), a restrictive anti- choice that creates undue barriers for Georgia women.

Women need you to ACT NOW!!

CALL YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE AND SAY NO TO HB 147!

Call during your lunch break, at your desk, between classes-- just do it! And yes it matters. They listen to your concerns. They are working for YOU!

HB 147 requires a woman be offered the opportunity to view an ultrasound and listen to the fetal heart sounds before terminating a pregnancy.

The true intent of this bill is to discourage and intimidate women into not having an abortion.

Further, HB 147 requires licensed physicians to provide a list to women of unsupervised 'fake' health care clinics that offer free ultrasounds.

The majority of these facilities are anti-abortion "crisis pregnancy centers" whose politically motivated goal is to deter women from choosing abortion by offering misleading and false information.
