ATLANTA — Drawing a slightly smaller crowd than in previous years, anti-abortion advocates gathered outside the Georgia Capitol on Friday to stress that last year’s overturning of Roe v. Wade was not enough — they want a total ban on abortion.
The annual event organized by Georgia Right to Life is held to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the now-moot U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade that guaranteed a constitutional right to abortion.
This year it served as a memorial service and march for all the abortions that have been performed since the 1973 ruling, but also as a call to action to push Georgia’s abortion restrictions past the 2019 state law that went into effect last year.
