2020 Democrats are set to debate in Georgia tonight amid the abortion battle DemDebate
Earlier this year, when Georgia became the fourth state in the nation to sign a ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, the move was met with an outpouring of reaction across the country.
As the litigation over the ban continues to move through the courts, under current Georgia law, abortion is legal and permitted up to 20 weeks into a pregnancy. The law signed by Kemp would allow for some exceptions including rape and incest, but the pregnant person would first have to file a police report alleging those offenses.
If elected president, Sen. Kamala Harris of California said at the October debate she would turn to her Justice Department to review state laws that succeeded in restricting abortion. "I would not get into court packing. We add three justices. Next time around, we lose control, they add three justices. We begin to lose any credibility the court has at all," Biden said in his response.
"We should not leave this to the Supreme Court," she said."We should do it through democracy because we can." On Monday, the Democratic Attorneys General Association announced it would only endorse candidates who"who support the right to access abortion and publicly commit to protecting reproductive rights." The group is the first national party committee to put such a litmus test on candidates. The move was applauded by Alexis McGill Johnson, acting president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
