ATLANTA (Feb. 27, 2024) — Tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb. 28th, Democratic Caucus Chair Sen. Elena Parent (D–Atlanta) will hold a press conference to discuss two bills in which she is filing, Senate Bill 564, “The Right to Contraception Act” and Senate Bill 565, “The Right to IVF Act.”
EVENT DETAILS:
- Date: Wednesday, February 28th
- Time: 9:30 a.m.
- Location: Room 203, Coverdell Legislative Office Building, 18 Capitol Sq. SW Atlanta, GA. 30334
- This Event is Open to the Public.
ABOUT THE MEETING:
“The Right to Contraception Act” works to ensure Georgians have access to contraception, while “The Right to IVF Act” would ensure that access to in vitro fertility treatment is not compromised by the definition or status of a human embryo created outside a human uterus. Representatives Marvin Lim (D–Norcross) and Teri Anulewicz (D–Smyrna) filed a companion bill, HB 1424, in the Georgia House of Representatives. With the increasing concern regarding access to contraception and family planning in Georgia and across the nation, Sen. Parent believes that it is the responsibility of legislators in this state to act now.
MEDIA OPPORTUNITIES:
We kindly request members of the media to confirm their attendance in advance by contacting Sydney Horwitz at the Senate Press Office (Sydney.Horwitz@senate.ga.gov).
