GA’s proposed total abortion ban bill wants ‘capital punishment’ for women, doctors
COLUMBUS LEDGER-INQUIRER
Georgia lawmakers have introduced House Bill 441, titled the “Georgia Prenatal Equal Protection Act,” which extends the scope of current laws governing abortion. This bill contains a total abortion ban, with very few exceptions, and could criminalize recipients and medical providers with capital punishment.
One of the bill’s sponsors, Rep. Emory Dunahoo articulated his support on the Foundation to Abolish Abortion’s overview page. He said, “If we truly believe that a fetus is a person made in the image of God, then to be consistent with the Constitution and God’s word, the laws which protect human beings who are born must equally protect those who are not yet born.”
