DeKalb is the latest municipality to declare abortion a low police priority

DeKalb County’s resolution says Georgia’s law banning abortions after around six-weeks of pregnancy, “represents a direct attack on the ability of individuals to make their own choices concerning their lives, their bodies, and their family planning.”

DeKalb County officials have approved a resolution classifying abortion-related allegations or charges as a low priority for police. 

The non-binding resolution backed by county commissioners says the county stands with the right of residents to make their own reproductive healthcare decisions.

“The DeKalb County Governing Authority declares a vision for the future where access to reproductive healthcare and gender-affirming care is universally available and reproductive healthcare choices are free from unreasonable restrictions, bans, barriers, discrimination, or punishment,” the resolution reads.
