A bill that proposes an almost total ban on abortion causes a tumult to the Campidoglio della Georgia

A crowd of demonstrators in favor of abortion and anti-abortion flooded with a windowless window Georgia Capitol Hallway on Wednesday with songs and signs while the legislators held an audition on a bill that would have banned almost all abortions.

Even if the account will not go anywhere this year because a deadline has passed for the examination of both rooms, the hearing by the house Republican Leadership gave anti-abortion activists the opportunity to speak on a close and dear problem to their voters.

Dozens have ground and shouted words of support or contempt for the proposal. The spectators tried to close in the hearing room while the deputies of the sheriff monitored the area. A man raised his voice above noise and said: “I am so grateful that my mother gave me life” and did not “sacrifice” her children.

Whenever someone left the room after testifying, they were welcomed with applause from those on their part of the account.

“Tens of thousands of children made in the image of God It continues to be assassinated in our state every year, all within the limits of the current law, “said the representative of the sponsor of the Medito Dunahoo bill, a Gillsville Republican.” This bill simply ensures that those same laws that protect people’s lives after birth equally protect people’s lives before birth “.

The bill would make most of the abortions a crime from the fertilization point. Georgia already prohibits abortions after finding a “detectable human heartbeat”, which can already happen six weeks in pregnancy when many women still do not know they are pregnant. However, a barrage of religious leaders said that the measure does not go far enough.

Some anti-anti-religious individuals were among the opponents of the bill, however, saying that it goes too far with criminalization.

The critics of the measure said that it would prevent women of life -saving care during the complications of birth and in vitro fertilization. Many expressed concern about the fact that women with spontaneous abortions or dangerous complications for health during birth would not have had the treatments they need.

Rep. Shea Roberts, a Atlanta Democrat, he told his experience in getting an abortion to save his life.

“It was one of the most devastating times of my life and the doctors told me that my son’s dream would die inside me or in a few minutes out of my body, and would be suffered,” said Roberts.

The bill would grant some exceptions, even in cases involving a “spontaneous abortion” and the procedures undertaken to save the life of a mother “if accompanied by reasonable steps, if available, to save the life of her not yet born child.”

But opponents say that doctors would be too frightened by the proposal to provide that assistance even when necessary. They indicated the cases – reported from the point of view of investigative journalism Proprietary – of two women who died from delayed care related to the abortion of Georgia abortion after taking pills for abortion.

The doctors have also noticed that Georgia already has some of the highest maternal mortality rates of the nation, in particular for color women. Legislators should focus on helping them to get more care, the opponents said.

The doctors also said that the bill lays the foundations for the criminalization of in vitro fertilization and would force the closure of the fertility clinics. The bill comes about a month after the Georgia house has approved an account with bipartisan support to protect the right to in vitro fertilization in the state. This measure was sponsored by the Republican representative of Statesboro Lehman Franklin, whose wife used in vitro fertilization to conceive.

Despite the concerns of several doctors, Dunahoo replied that the account would not interfere with access to in vitro fertilization.

But Dr. Karenne Fru, who manages a clinic for fertility that provides in vitro fertilization, said that the bill would put it out of work.

“All my life is doing the work of God. He said go and procreate,” said Fru, his voice trembles. “I’m doing it. Please, let me continue to do it. I can’t go to prison because I want to help people become parents.”
