ATLANTA — A few minutes after Gov. Brian Kemp ended a showcase speech to the state Legislature focused on a “new era” of mostly consensus-driven policies, he walked across the street to address some of Georgia’s most prominent Christian conservatives.
After delivering a string of applause lines about his economic stances, Kemp turned to the top item on the wish list of many in the audience: the question of whether he’d push for more stringent abortion limits after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“We’re going to continue to value and support life at all stages in our state,” Kemp said, shifting to measures that aimed to streamline adoption and improve foster care. “We haven’t just been talking about that. We’ve been doing something about it.”
