Adriana deserved timely care. Instead, she was dismissed, denied timely treatment, & lost her life while pregnant in a state hostile to repro freedom.

#HB481 was passed in 2019 and took effect in 2022 after Dobbs was handed down that bans abortions in Georgia after 6 weeks.

Fulton County Justice Robert McBurney issues a ruling in Sistersong v. Georgia that #HB481 be struck down, reverting the state’s abortion laws to pre-HB481 times, in which abortion is permitted up to 22 weeks.

.@Netflix @reedhastings: you refused to film in North Carolina over their anti-trans bathroom bill. We need you to do the same in Georgia until they repeal their degrading and dangerous abortion ban! #HB481 #HB481isBadForBusiness

I will shout this til the day I die:
My body is mine. Your body is yours. Abortion bans are not about "babies," they are about controlling women.
#HB481
One of the most important things older women can do is talk about our abortions as openly as our lives & courage allow. My life is established, my abortion (& miscarriage) well past. Being honest (AND LOUD) about our abortions is an act of love to the generations coming up #HB481
When you can't sleep post-night-float, the obvious answer is to obsessively follow news about #HB481 (thanks @capitol_REB) #gapol #HB481 #NoAbortionBanGA
