Georgia's Fetal Personhood Bill Delineates the Divide Between Abortion Abolitionists and Pro-Life Orgs
RED STATE
In February, Georgia's heartbeat law, which restricts abortion after a discernable heartbeat is detected (around six weeks) except in the cases of rape, incest, or the life of the mother, was once again upheld by the Georgia Supreme Court in a 6-1 decision.
But for a faction of life advocates known as "abortion abolitionists," so-called heartbeat bills do not stop abortions from happening. Their aim is to change this, making it illegal to have one. In March, State Rep. Emory Dunahoo (R-31) introduced House Bill 441 (HB 441), the "Georgia Prenatal Equal Protection Act," which would make abortion a criminal act. If made law, it would remove the six-week timeframe of the heartbeat law and the exceptions that go along with it.

Now They Want to Charge Women With Killing Their ‘Preborn’ Babies
MS. MAGAZINE
If you thought that antiabortion Republican lawmakers in red states like Texas, Idaho, South Carolina and Georgia would be satisfied now that they have passed extreme abortion bans in their states, think again—just doling out legal threats to the citizens in their states who they believe are aiding and abetting abortions was not enough. Now, they want to punish women themselves for getting abortions.

Georgia pro-life organization attacks bill that would classify abortion as homicide: 'Sad, but it is not a surprise'
BLAZE MEDIA
Georgia Life Alliance is opposed to legislation that would recognize the personhood of the unborn and their slayings as murder…
Georgia Life Alliance recently raised eyebrows with a publicized March 19 letter to the state House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee asking that it refrain from holding its hearing on HB 411 or at least kill it in committee.

State lawmakers are weighing bills that would treat abortion as homicide
THE 19TH
None of the bills are likely to become law. But they illustrate a growing divide in the anti-abortion movement and could punish pregnant people.
Lawmakers in at least eight states are weighing bills that would treat abortion as a homicide, imposing criminal penalties on both providers and patients, once a Rubicon for the movement.
The bills, filed in Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina and Texas, stem from the Prenatal Equal Protection Act, model legislation crafted by the Texas-based advocacy group the Foundation to Abolish Abortion. Three similar bills were introduced in Indiana, North Dakota and Oklahoma but failed to pass in committee or on the floor of the legislature.

The Anti-Abortion Movement Is Splintering

“Is the faction that wants the death penalty for women who terminate pregnancies winning?
Earlier this month, Kristan Hawkins, head of the influential anti-abortion group Students for Life of America, told her 85,000 followers on X that a particularly militant faction of anti-abortion activists worried her more than pro-choice protesters… Since the Supreme Court ended federal protection for abortion access with its Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision in 2022, abolitionists have been pushing to criminalize abortion, with some of the most zealous arguing that the termination of a pregnancy should be considered a homicide and punished with the full force of the law.”

Ep. 425: A Conversation With “Abortion Abolitionist” Bradley Pierce
MINISTRY WATCH PODCAST with WARREN COLE SMITH
“All is not well in the pro-life ecosystem.
There is much infighting and disagreement over priorities. Those who have placed their trust in politics have had to contend with the reality that the number of abortions in America have actually gone up since the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade. On the other hand, those who have ignored politics have had no part in the pro-life victories that we have seen in at least 14 states.
On today’s program I unpack some of these issues with someone who calls himself an “abortion abolitionist.” Bradley Pierce is a constitutional attorney who has drafted legislation in more than 30 states supporting self-defense and parental rights, as well as civil liberties and the right to life.”

Hamilton and Deevers Respond to Claims of ‘Zero’ Abortions, Highlight the Estimated 3,274 Annual Abortions in Oklahoma
OKLAHOMA SENATE - PRESS RELEASE
“Sen. Dusty Deevers, R-Elgin, and Sen. Warren Hamilton, R-McCurtain, responded on Friday to comments made by Oklahoma House Speaker Kyle Hilbert regarding abortion legislation in the upcoming session. Hilbert is quoted by Oklahoma Voice as saying, “When there’s not any reported abortions, I don’t know how you further reduce from zero.”
“As a pastor and local activist, I have been engaged in the fight to protect preborn children for years prior to becoming a Senator. I have much respect for Speaker Hilbert as Christian man, but as much as I desperately wish there were zero abortions in Oklahoma, zero ‘reported’ abortions is not the same thing as zero abortions,” Deevers said. “Data shows that roughly 3,274 self-managed abortions are legally performed annually in Oklahoma in addition to 4,000 abortions committed by Oklahomans driving to other states.”
