DPG Statement on Georgia’s Abortion Ban Being Upheld

Today, after the Georgia Supreme Court allowed Brian Kemp and Georgia Republicans’ extreme abortion ban to stay in place, DPG Chair Congresswoman Nikema Williams released the following statement:

“Today’s disappointing ruling is a direct result of Brian Kemp and Georgia Republicans’ unrelenting assault on Georgians’ reproductive freedom. At every turn, despite knowing his draconian abortion ban is extreme, dangerous, and out of touch, Kemp and his Republican allies have fought tooth and nail to enact it anyway.

“Kemp’s abortion ban may stand for now, but Georgia Democrats are not resting in the fight to protect abortion access. Come 2024, we’ll fight to keep anti-abortion extremists out of both the White House and the statehouse and work to codify protections for reproductive freedom into federal law. Today’s ruling is a blow to Georgians and to reproductive freedom, but the fight continues.”
