With the 2025 legislative session in full swing, state lawmakers are already introducing bills to undermine abortion access and attack reproductive freedom. But our community is showing up to make sure they hear directly from the people they represent.
The day began with a Capitol tour and meetings with supportive legislators, including Senator Jason Esteves. Meanwhile, Chair Tanya Miller and Representative Park Cannon—both staunch reproductive freedom champions—remained on the House floor to oppose harmful legislation.

A Press Conference for Reproductive Freedom
A powerful press conference followed, joined by Representative Robert Flournoy, and featuring remarks from Representative Shea Roberts, Senate Minority Leader Harold Jones, and Alicia Stallworth, Director of Georgia Campaigns at Reproductive Freedom for All. Each speaker brought the same resounding message: the fight for reproductive freedom is urgent, and we won’t back down.
Additionally, Planned Parenthood Southeast Advocates joined us to expose the growing crisis of reproductive care in the state and demand urgent legislative action.
Shanette Williams Shares Amber’s Story
Finally, Shanette Williams courageously shared her daughter’s story. Amber Nicole Thurman was a 28-year-old mother who tragically died after she couldn’t access legal abortion care in Georgia. The state’s maternal mortality review committee found that Amber’s death was preventable and said a delay in care had a “large” impact.
Fighting for Reproductive Rights in Georgia: The Next Chapter
Last year, Georgia voters prevented a Republican supermajority in the State House of Representatives—a critical win and no small feat! We are moving toward making Georgia a state where reproductive rights are protected for everyone.
Still, Georgians are suffering a real and horrifying health crisis due to restrictive abortion bans, forced to navigate dangerous restrictions that endanger their lives and well-being.
Our members remain committed to ensuring access to abortion, birth control, and paid family leave. The work continues, and we invite you to get involved in shaping Georgia’s future.
