By Washington Post Staff May 7 at 10:24 AM Gov. Brian Kemp signed the bill, which would prohibit the termination of a pregnancy after a “fetal heartbeat” is detected — as early as six weeks, before many women know they’re pregnant.
The bill attracted national attention and prompted fierce protests from abortion rights advocates, who have threatened legal action.
We should boycott any travel or business with Georgia!!!
They even want to prosecute you if you go across state lines for it. Made me laugh that they think they have that kindnof authority.
GovKemp with around 14,000 children already in foster care in Georgia, how many of them are you planning to adopt when that number significantly increases due to you FORCING women to have babies that they aren’t prepared for or are products of incest and rape?
“Making it a rogue state in need of punishment”**** Fixed it for ya
There is a state with MORE RESTRICTIVE abortion laws. How
And those who value life are shouting hallelujah from the rooftops. I suspect those in heaven are doing the same, including the millions of aborted babies who never got the chance to live their lives to the fullest.
We should castrate and jail males for ejaculations outside of marriage. Then they’ll change the law. Disgusting. Bunch of old white guys strutting their stuff. 🖕
One more state to completely avoid.
I was 6 weeks pregnant when I found out and miscarried that same weekend. Didn’t even have enough time to decide what I wanted to do. This is a terrible move for women’s rights.
Well I won’t be flying Delta anymore if I have to layover in Atlanta. I’m planning to BoycottGeorgia from here on out.
What about people in Georgia dying because of lack of access to medical care? Did Georgia accept Medicaid expansion? If not, start indicting the politicians for murder, and carry out the same draconian sentences.
What about women who miscarry due to unavailability of prenatal care? Does that make Georgia social services guilty of murder?
What if a woman dies in childbirth? Does that make the baby guilty of murder? This law is about as messed up as it gets. Any woman who miscarries will be at risk for prosecution, even if she didn't know she was pregnant. Georgia is now a police state for all fertile women.
I need to hear entertainment studios boycotting Georgia. Put people before your tax breaks and get out of there.
Imagine any law being passed telling someone what they can't do with their bodies. That's Crazy. Good thing we don't live in that world.
So funny to read all the tweets of the haters who support killing the babies because the woman was so irresponsible, she couldn't wait 5 seconds and have her man put on a condom. Makes it easy when you can't see the baby die or hear it scream.
Well guess I have to throw down some protests when I move to Atlanta
Hoes mad
My empathy's gonna take a back seat when i start setting republicans on fire
you are right😀🧡
I hate to say this but this will only result in women not going to the doctor anymore and orphanages will be PACKED. Smh
I read the article and what the fuck someone in Alabama tried to introduce a bill banning abortion WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS OF RAPE AND INCEST? I hope this doesn’t start a trend of ridiculously shitty abortion laws like “death penalty for those that miscarry”
BOYCOTTGEORGIA 6weeksmyAss If Georgia doesn't want a woman to have the right to choose I think they should just go FUCK THEMSELVES that way women won't have to worry about unwanted pregnancy.
Leave the state, starve them of resources. Also, I understand it’s difficult to leave for certain income levels. But in general if a trash ass state wants to do this, leave it. Take your skills and provide them to a state economy you believe it.
Wake up America! Roe v Wade is being thrown out the window, being ignored, as if it didn’t exist. This needs to go to court and be knocked down
And u know whats gonna happen? Women wont go see doctors let alone notify anyone that they’re pregnant. And will seek to miscarriage In harmful ways. Either way the job will get done.
So I’m guessing their next move will be to roll out comprehensive sex education in schools (with a heavy focus on consent) and free access to contraceptives, y’know to ACTUALLY decrease abortion numbers... no?
this is incredibly scary. ABORTION IS A HUMAN RIGHT
boycott Mercedes Benz! they moved their HQ to Atlanta. don’t buy their pretentious overpriced junks and ditch the ones you have
The governor who didn't really win the election tries to tell a woman what she can do with her body? He is disgusting.
How about a mandatory celibacy for men?
When they start involving the sperm donor in these things like charging him with a crime to, we're going to see some changes to abortion laws that are a little more positive for women.
How many times has this governor been pregnant? 👎
Hey Alyssa_Milano Suck it! Don’t worry Half of Hollywood claimed they would leave the United States if Trump won, how many of them actually left. I’ll give you a min to think about it. All talk and no action.
Hey Alyssa_Milano Suck it! Don’t worry Half if Hillywood claimed they would leave the United States if Trump won, how many of them actually left. I’ll give you a min to think about it. Liberals use fear as their primary tactic to get their way. I would be surprised if one left
ew
Guess we wont be seeing that 'Filmed in Georgia' tag on the end of movies and tv shows for a while.
THANK YOU GEORGIA!!!
Lawyers everywhere: checking if they’re on the Bar in Georgia chaching
Georgia Governor: 'I love bringing suffering into the world and forcing sapient life to live in the hell planet I’ve created and will force upon the unfortunate generations to follow me'
Make a bill when men must get a vasectomy after a certain age.
Sick fks.
Breaking- will be challenged in court immediately.
Won’t see me in that backassward state
Kudos to the bold and brave governor of Georgia! Unluck Coumowho traded lives for votes while turning NY into an abortion tourism Mecca. Shame on Coumo..
I applaud Georgia’s sane and responsible step at turning the tide away from the indifference and brutality of infanticide. May God bless and strengthen all those involved.
Take him to court.
Tell me pro choice people, if the baby has a heartbeat, why should it be legal to kill him or her? This is a great piece of legislation
We will fix everything when we get Trump and his criminal lackeys out of power.
Watch how state revenue drops as new business will never settle there and in time will erode their economy and social structures.....it will be a house of cards
Finally a Cuckservative Republicon did what is right 🙏 ❤️ it's wrong to murder a child in the womp
Hope Georgia also has the most open adoption laws to go along with it.
It’s ridiculous how everybody’s reacting to this. We’ve come to a point in time where abortion is so normalized,& that’s a problem. It’s become a HUGE $$ industry. It’s to the point were MORE black babies are aborted than birthed in states like NY. So many are dyin to adopt. Sad
This now puts ALL medical care providers In danger of going to jail just to save lives!!! Stupid and misguided!!!
“We will fight for life” ...dude, whose life ?
But he forgot to sign the bill stating that boys who don't wear condoms will go to jail, too. Figures.
Alyssa_Milano you tried.
Oh no you mean that democrat progressives won’t be able to kill live babies ? wait till AOC Omar Linda Sarsour and Hollywood millionaires hear about it
Some people just can't get enough of trying to push their religion onto others.
Sad day
I long for the day where old white men or men in general stop telling what I should do with MY body....
chilllll
The GOP are islamists who just happen to worship a different God.
an unconstitutional undue burden if i’ve ever seen one
And the courts will throw it out. Stupid fking republicans.
So many men are not going to be getting laid. If this keeps up we can go back to separate beds like in the 50s! Yay!
Unconditional. That's all.
RoArquette Heartless
Abortion should be decided at the state level. That’s what overturning roe v wade would allow Don’t like the abortion laws in Georgia, either move to a state with no restrictions like cal or ny or vote for people who share your views & change the law.
Another horrifying step backward and closer to living in the Handmaids Tale.
Keep losing those rights Ladies! It's a great look on you!
But all protesting from film industry workers like Alyssa_Milano put their heart and soul into killing Georgia's babies. TrumpLandSlide2020
Kevfeige
America is going back to 1973 bbye America
F Georgia...
Is all film & television production pulling out of Atlanta?
I love how many people want the freedom to kill 'it's just a fetus' but also want to be able to deduct it on their taxes or get child support. 🙃
By chance did he sign anything giving children guaranteed healthcare or to subsidize daycare so moms can work without handing over the majority of their pay to decent daycare. No? Typical republican pro birther, don’t give a shit after that.
We have a constitutional crisis and lawmakers really are worried about restricting medical procedures? We need more women in government to get shit done.
Pro-Abortionists pounce on the decision. 'This is a direct attack on the rights of adult women to have consensual sex with no consequence. Empowered women are unable to change their sex lives. Just kill the baby!'
Oh no I can’t kill a baby wow so evil omg omg omg
NO MALE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO DECIDE ANYTHING TO DO WITH A WOMAN'S BODY FULL STOP
DandDout
Bravo !!! How sterile and archaic can you be to use one's creativity to destroy life ? Sadistic minded individuals!!!
What else do you expect from a bunch of bible thumping hicks who failed science class lol
And this is why whenever my transplanted to GA family 'says move here to be with us', I say 'nope'.
So he better be willing to increase safety-net programs for underserved communities because that’s who will impacted the most by this lunatic law.
Way to go Georgia.....now more restrictive than ever. This will not stop abortions, I repeat, it will not stop abortions. It just forces women to seek out unsafe abortion alternatives.
I thought God and State were supposed to be separate. Film industry take note.
Good news. Just a step in the right direction. Fully overturning roe v wade is the final step!
Can they apply and begin receiving assistance at detection of heartbeat also? Counted in the census? Get a SS number? Child credit?
Obviously Georgia thinks women are incapable of making their own decisions. Any women living in Georgia and putting up with this deserves to be controlled by men.
Solution? If you don't want a baby, don't get pregnant.
The law bans most abortions once a doctor detects what they call “a fetal heartbeat in the womb,” which is usually about six weeks into a pregnancy
Just to clarify, I now get to claim a “heartbeat” as a child tax credit in my income taxes? Who is going to issue a SSN for my cell cluster so I can write off the expense? Whose going to make sure that cell cluster reaches term? Do I pay back tax credit if I miscarry?
BoycottGeorgia
Thanks, religious right. Here's what a 6-week-old 'baby' with a 'heartbeat' looks like. The heart won't be fully formed for another 3.5 months but whatever, let's punish the mother. CreepingSharia
Good thing Roe vs Wade wasn’t around when you were born ... BrianKempGA
Is he also planning to improve access to education and affordable contraception?
RoArquette I didn't know the men in Georgia had wombs. So, the other party responsible for the pregnancy can carry?
Hollywood studios need to pull out of production in this state.
Just like Ohio. Forcing Supreme Court to revisit Roe v Wade.
Always the way to go if you want people to move out of your state
prolife MAGA
The Governor simply affirmed what the people of Georgia wanted as enacted by their Representatives. One wonders whether Stacey Abrams would have signed on.
Governor*
New headline: Governor Who Won Questionably Signs Pro-Forced Pregnancy Bill. Because that’s what it is. Also let’s remember many doctors have said that fetuses don’t have fully developed hearts by this time but ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ .
👍👍👍
Georgia Allow me to introduce you to Florida because you are both dead to me.
This is the same guy who was in charge of voter elections, right? Doesn’t surprise me.
and I thought Republicans wanted less government intrusion... prochoice
In related news the Economy of Georgia goes into free fall as everyone under 65 leaves the state.
