When will the Georgia Legislature stop harassing women and start focusing on PREVENTION? Prevention measures are the best way to prevent unintended pregnancies, not unnecessary intrusions into the doctor-patient relationship. The Georgia General Assembly should focus on policies that help women prevent unintended pregnancies long before a woman enters an abortion clinic. These senseless proposals are not helping Georgia women access the education and services they need.
Please let the members of the House Judiciary (Non-Civil) Committee who voted in favor of this bill know that doctors, not politicians, should decide what information and care to offer their patients. Politicians who are sincere about reducing the need for abortion should focus on prevention, not intrusive legislation.
You CAN help defeat this bill by taking the following 3 steps:
1. Thank the Representatives that stood up for the women of Georgia!
2. Spank the Representatives that voted for this intrusive legislation!
3. Call the author of this bill, State House Representative James Mills, with this message:
I am outraged at HB 147! Please consider other ways of reducing unintended pregnancy through preventive health care, not through intrusive legislation. Doctors, not politicians, should decide what information and care to offer their patients. I urge you to OPPOSE HB 147 and legislation like it!
State House Representative James Mills (R-25): 404-656-5099
Received: March 1st, 2007
