Did you know that Georgia anti-abortion opponents want to pass a total ban on abortion?

In the 2007 legislative session anti-choice legislators introduced House Bill 1, an abortion ban that if enacted would be among the most extreme bans passed into law since prior to Roe v. Wade.  This measure bans nearly all abortion, and could ban many forms of contraception, and provides a penalty of death or life in prison.  Women themselves could be prosecuted, because there is no exception for the acts of a pregnant woman and the definition of "abortion" does not specify that only a physician may be prosecuted.  This clearly unconstitutional bill exposes the anti-choice movement's true disregard for the health and well-being of Georgian women. 

H.B. 1, 149th Gen. Assem., Reg. Sess. (Ga. 2007).
