Stacey Abrams, female presidential candidates call for action against wave of anti-abortion laws
By Vanessa Williams Vanessa Williams Reporter on the National desk. Email Bio Follow May 18 at 4:20 PM Georgia politician Stacey Abrams and four of the Democratic women running for president have joined forces to rally resistance against the wave of restrictive antiabortion laws moving through state legislatures.
It comes days after Alabama lawmakers approved, and the governor signed, what is being called the most restrictive abortion bill in the country, banning the procedure in almost all instances, including for victims of rape or incest. On Friday, Missouri lawmakers passed a similar law that bans abortions after eight weeks.
State lawmakers and antiabortion activists have said their goal is to force the issue up to the conservative-leaning Supreme Court in the hope of overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide, but with provisions for women’s health and prenatal care. The video was produced by Fair Fight Action, the political action committee that Abrams launched late last year to challenge laws that she says restrict voting rights. Fair Fight has been raising money for abortion rights groups in Georgia.
