A new mural memorializing two Georgia women who died after trying to have an abortion has been unveiled in Decatur, serving as a public reminder of what advocates say is the harm caused by abortion bans.
Free & Just, which is a national organization that uses storytelling to highlight the impact of abortion restrictions, sponsored the mural as part of its “Artists for Abortion Access” series in collaboration with Living Walls.
