Political Rewind: Right To Abortion Access In Question As Ga. GOP Considers Texas-Inspired Law
b'Wednesday on Political Rewind: Republican state Sen. Butch Miller said he intends to introduce a bill patterned after Texas\\u2019 contentious new abortion law during the upcoming session of the Georgia legislature. The Texas measure empowers private citizens to sue and collect financial damages from anyone facilitating an abortion.\\n\\nThis comes just a week before a federal appeals court takes up Georgia\\u2019s now-stayed abortion law, which effectively bans the procedure for most women.\\n\\nMeanwhile, Gov. Brian Kemp continues his criticism of President Joe Biden\\u2019s broad vaccine mandate. There is fear the language he is using will further inflame the partisan tensions already at play in Georgia. Kemp said the mandate will, \\u201cpush Georgians to the breaking point\\u201d and could lead to an uprising and mutiny.\\n\\nPanelists:\\n\\nDr. Andra Gillespie \\u2014 Professor of political science and director of the James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference at Emory University\\n\\nFred Smith \\u2014 Professor of constitutional law, Emory University\\n\\nDr. Alan Abramowitz \\u2014 Professor of political science, Emory University'
