We call on @GovKemp to abide by the federal court's ruling & not pursue a costly & frivolous appeal of the extreme right-wing #HB481 that @GaRepublicans championed. #gapol (1/6)
Instead of attempting to address the woeful maternal mortality issue in GA, or the unconscionable lack of access to OB/GYNs in rural counties, Gov. Kemp & Republicans tried to force on Georgians a Big Brother law that is anti-choice, anti-medicine, & anti-health. (2/6)
Gov. Kemp has already vowed to waste taxpayer dollars appealing the court's ruling instead of:

➡️Expanding Medicaid to provide healthcare coverage to approximately 500,000 Georgians.

➡️Mitigating approximately $1 billion budget cuts to our children's education.

Ironically, GA Republicans have stated that their support for #HB481 shows that they care about life. But their lack of leadership during a global pandemic has led to surges in COVID-19 cases all over GA, with over 3,000 dead & over 120,000 infected to date with COVID-19. (4/6)
By prematurely reopening the state & refusing to issue an order to mandate face masks, Gov. Kemp & GA Republicans have proven that they value politics over the life & rights of Georgians. (5/6)
While we are thankful that the federal court struck down #HB481, we understand that the only way to protect the rights of women in our state is to elect a new governing majority. #gapol (6/6)
