On Friday, the Georgia House approved a bill that would give millions of state dollars to pregnancy centers that discourage women from having an abortion.

The bill, which establishes a grant program that could give up to $2 million in state funding to what advocates term “positive alternative” pregnancy resource centers, passed 105-52 after a nearly hour-long heated debate.
