Additional Legislative Issues

We need legislation to address the following:

Right to Life

  • No prescribing of drugs lethal to the baby via telehealth (formerly SB228)
  • Make adoption more affordable and accessible via an Adoption Sponsorship Tax Credit which allows the taxpayer to direct funds to adoptions

Good bill that is being introduced during this session that we want you to support:

  • Ban direct or indirect privately funded technical services
  • Aborted Fetal Cells and Vaccine Information
  • Vaccine information sheet would be required state if that vaccine contains or used aborted fetal cells in its production, testing or ingredients

A BAD bill that must be defeated:

HB 1 Georgia Pro-Birth Accountability Act

  • Any woman who claims she would have killed her baby in the womb except that the law prohibited her, is entitled to be compensated by the State (per Code 31-9c-2). Lists extensive entitlements

2nd Amendment

  • Support Second Amendment Preservation Act
  • Support Anti-Red Flag legislation that would ban Georgia from accepting any federal money in exchange for passing gun control measures

Gambling

  • Oppose any and all legislation relating to gambling in Georgia (including formerly SB 212)

Medical

  • Addendum to HB 249, Section 16-13-63, after line 338 (v), add:

“(vi) Patient is a veteran who has been classified as 100% disabled due to chronic pain caused by an injury received while serving in the military.”

Note:  Chronic pain is ongoing or recurrent pain, lasting beyond the usual course of acute illness or injury of more than three to six months, and which adversely affects the individual’s well-being.
