“Georgians have a right to understand the full range of pregnancy options and to receive reliable medical information free of political bias,” said Sen. Orrock. “Anti-abortion clinics were found to provide high levels of false and misleading health information. Advertised services do not align with what is actually available and do not comply with prevailing medical guidelines. Georgia continues to have one of the highest maternal mortality rates of any state. Investing in healthy pregnancies and healthy babies must be our top priority. We must act to protect the public’s right to accurate healthcare information. Public funding for these anti-abortion clinics should end. Instead, let’s invest wisely and increase access to real healthcare.”
