Dunahoo filed HB 441, which extends freedoms to a fertilized egg like any other person. It is also known as the Georgia Prenatal Equal Protection Act. The bill would also impose stiffer penalties on those who have abortions and on those who carry them out.
“This bill is all pro-life. It states that we’re basically taking conception as when life starts,” Dunahoo said. “We have turned Roe v. Wade around. Let’s go ahead and just bring back life to the unborn and give them hope that they can grow up to be president, to invent something or cure cancer.”
