Georgia Dems hope voters show support for reproductive rights at the ballot box in ‘Roevember’

Vice President Kamala Harris has put access to reproductive rights at the center of her presidential campaign, and in 10 states, the issue is literally on the ballot this year. 

But in a state like Georgia, where the state constitution does not allow citizen-led ballot initiatives, the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling that ended the federal right to an abortion and left it to state legislatures to regulate is still casting a long shadow.

In Georgia’s handful of competitive legislative races, the Democratic incumbents or candidates are not shying away from the issue.
