Congresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05), vice-chair of the Democratic Women’s Caucus and a member of the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus said: 

“Today’s decision to allow the extreme Republican abortion ban to stand harms Georgians, but it isn’t the last word.

It is time to ensure abortion access is codified into federal law and affordable for all–no matter their ZIP Code, no matter their bank account.”
