General Assembly Democrats are introducing legislation that would safeguard abortion access in Georgia. 

The Reproductive Freedom Act calls for repealing House Bill 481’s abortion restrictions and expanding Georgia’s network of abortion providers.

It would also allow more health insurance plans, including state employee health plans and Medicaid plans, to cover abortion services.
