A bill proposing a near-total abortion ban causes an uproar at Georgia’s Capitol

ATLANTA (AP) — A crowd of protesters on each side of the abortion debate flooded a windowless Georgia Capitol hallway Wednesday with chants and signs as lawmakers held a hearing on a bill that would ban the procedure in almost all cases.

Although the bill will not go anywhere this year because a deadline has passed for consideration by both chambers, the hearing granted by the House’s Republican leadership gave anti-abortion activists a chance to speak out on an issue near and dear to their constituents.

Dozens milled about and shouted words of support or disdain for the proposal. Onlookers tried to squeeze into the hearing room as sheriff’s deputies guarded the area. One man raised his voice above the noise and said, “I’m so thankful that my mom gave me life” and did not “sacrifice” her children.

Each time someone left the room after testifying, they were met with cheers from those on their side of the bill.
