Gov. Brian Kemp spoke at a hate group's anti-choice summit last week. Kemp only mentioned his extreme 6-week abortion ban ONCE in his speech — in the past, he bragged about passing the "toughest abortion ban in the nation." 3 main reasons why Kemp is now avoiding it. ā¬‡ļø

1ļøāƒ£: Gov. Biran Kemp knows his extreme 6-week abortion ban is unpopular with voters. An @Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll from July shows opposition from: 54% of all voters 58% of women 62% of independents ajc.com/politics/ajc-p
2ļøāƒ£: It’s mobilizing and energizing pro-choice voters — especially women — which will cost GOP candidates votes. The number of Georgia women requesting mail ballots has already risen from 2020. Here's a breakdown from @Tom Bonier, CEO of @TargetSmart: twitter.com/tbonier/status

In Georgia, 37% of the mail ballot requests have come from Black voters, and 60% from women. In 2020, 30% of mail ballots were cast by Black voters, 56% by women.
And in Georgia, women make up a larger share of voters than in most other states — consistently accounting for at least 55% of ballots cast in recent elections. twitter.com/tbonier/status

Take Georgia - women already account for a larger share of the electorate than in almost any other state. Look at the recent elections in the state: women have consistently accounted for no less than 55% of ballots cast!
3ļøāƒ£: Gov. Kemp knows talking about his dangerous abortion ban reveals his extremism on the issue. Kemp is against exceptions for victims of rape and incest — a wildly out-of-touch position that he knows will alienate a significant portion of voters. ā¬‡ļø
Kemp knows that campaigning on his extreme aboriton ban will also raise awareness on his comments that surfaced last week, where Kemp stated his openness to banning emergency contraception. wjcl.com/article/does-g

This morning, Georgia lawmakers held a press conference on Gov. Brian Kemp’s recent comments opening the door to banning contraception if he’s re-elected. THREAD. ā¬‡ļøšŸ§µ
We can't let Gov. Brian Kemp dodge his extreme position on aboriton. Please share this widely to help spread the word on his exremism. Kemp is against exceptions for victims of rape & incest, and open to banning contraception — if re-elected, Georgia women's rights are at risk.
