ATLANTA — Peggy Wright was driving home when she stumbled on Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Herschel Walker holding a campaign rally in Gainesville. She pulled over and, before joining the crowd of supporters, reached into the trunk of her car for the sign she always keeps there: “Vote Pro-Life.”
Abortion isn’t just an important issue to Wright. “It’s the only issue,” she said. That’s why she’ll return to her polling place to cast a ballot for Walker in the runoff.
Amy Howard helped organize an Atlanta fundraiser in October for a group that helps women in the Southeast obtain abortions. A sex therapist, Howard regularly counsels women on their reproductive options and has had to navigate the recent changes in Georgia’s law.
