Antiabortion Georgia has some of the highest infant mortality rates in the US.
The recently signed Georgia law does include exceptions for rape and incest, as well as for medical emergencies. But the law will hurt patients in Georgia, which has some of the highest rates of maternal mortality in the country, said Redman, the Spark Reproductive Justice Now executive director.
“People are dying because of the maternal health here in Georgia,” she said. “The fact that we’re eliminating a health care option, a service, will do a disservice to Georgians,” especially black, queer, and low-income people who are disproportionately likely to seek abortion care.
The "heartbeat" bills that could ban almost all abortions, explained
Wow, I guess I’ve been right all along. Republicans don’t really care about the baby. This is all about controlling women. Start by legislating their bodies.
