Georgia's 'heartbeat' law targeted by Democratic presidential hopefuls

[TexasTowelie]

Democratic candidates for president have made their opposition to Georgia’s heartbeat law and a wave of anti-abortion measures in other states a central part of their campaigns.

U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., told Georgia’s abortion rights advocates at the state Capitol that she was on their side.

“I’m am proud to be here in Georgia today to stand shoulder to shoulder with these women and the millions of people around the country who are outraged and fighting for our reproductive and civil rights,” Gillibrand said after hosting a roundtable discussion involving abortion rights activists, providers and state Democratic lawmakers.

“I am here to not only learn from you, but I intend to use my platform to not only shine a light on what’s happening here in Georgia … I will also lead the fight for women’s rights and civil rights across the country,” the presidential hopeful said.

1. The travel thing is where the meat is

People may not be able to identify with situations some women find themselves in where abortion is the most viable option but every sane person gets the fact the government shouldn’t be able to prosecute someone for traveling out of state for a legal medical procedure. That part of it outrages me.

I’d also like to see the language changed from pro life to forced birth movement.
