On Wednesday, March 26, the Georgia Prenatal Equal Protection Act, HB 441, received a historic hearing in the Judiciary Non-Civil Committee in the Georgia House of Representatives. Democrat committee members vigorously opposed the legislation.

As a result of the decisions made by establishment Republicans, equal protection will not become law in Georgia this year, and the lives of over 50,000 babies in Georgia will remain unprotected from abortion.

Time is running out for Georgia Republicans to pass HB 441, the Georgia Prenatal Equal Protection Act. All bills must receive a hearing in committee, a committee vote and then a full vote on the floor of the House by “Crossover Day,” which is Thursday, March 6.

HB 441 already has 21 Republican co-sponsors, indicating a significant level of support for equal protection among House Republicans in Georgia.
