  • In an interview with CNN, she said she had changed her mind about abortion rights.

  • The Georgia governor candidate was raised in a religious household and was anti- abortion.

  • She understands religious people, but doesn't agree with their ideology.

In a Friday interview with CNN, the Democratic nominee for Governor of Georgia explained how she came to support abortion services after being raised in a religious household.

I was very much against abortion when I was a child. "I grew up in Mississippi in a very religious family." I was raised to not be critical of this question.

She explained that after watching a friend face the consequences of an unwanted pregnancy that made her question her beliefs about abortion, she had changed her mind.

I am aware of the genuine concerns. Religious concerns can be driven by personal morality. "That should be your choice," she said. It's a medical issue. It's about a decision about medicine. There is no place in that medical decision.

A year after narrowly losing the Georgia Governor's race, Brian Kemp is running again. Kemp signed into law a bill that restricted abortions after six weeks of pregnancy and criminalized women who traveled to other states to get abortions. The law was struck down by a federal judge in 2020, but it's not clear if a similar law will be passed in the wake of the decision.

The Governor of Georgia does not care about women. He doesn't care about their health The most restrictive abortion law in Georgia's history has been adopted and signed by him. He wants to eliminate access for incest and rape.

Georgia politicians have applauded the Supreme Court's decision and called for harsher abortion laws. A total abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest should be adopted by the state according to Walker.
