REPUBLICAN-SPONSORED ABORTION-RELATED BILLS
• Senate Bill 77 and House Bill 197 would require physicians to give women seeking abortion information on the medical risks of abortion, the probable gestational age and development of a fetus, fetal pain and alternatives to abortion, including adoption. It would require women to wait 24 hours after receiving the information before proceeding with an abortion. The bill also would require that only a parent or legal guardian be notified when a minor younger than 18 seeks an abortion. Currently, Georgia law allows certain people, such as a grandparent or other relative caring for the minor, to act as a stand-in for a parent or legal guardian.
• Senate Bill 123 would protect from lawsuits or disciplinary action by employers any pharmacist who objects on moral or religious grounds to dispensing emergency contraceptives.
• Senate Bill 69 would allow the state to issue "Choose Life" license plates.
• Senate Bill 93 would outlaw abortion in Georgia, with no exceptions for rape or incest. (unlikely to pass, but goddamn)
thanks to
