With Roe v. Wade’s apparent demise imminent and Georgia’s Heartbeat Bill weeks from going into effect, it has never been more important to pass policy that builds up a state prepared for a post-Roe culture.

We are so proud to announce that Governor Kemp has signed GLA’s flagship legislation, Betsy’s Law, which allows nonprofits to provide free maternity supportive housing to homeless pregnant women and their minor children.

Betsy’s Law, named after the child our Leadership Director, Elizabeth Reed, courageously placed for adoption when she was homeless and pregnant at age 15, will save lives immediately and provide the hope that thousands of women will need with abortion access gone in Georgia.

Thank you so much to Elizabeth for sharing her story and writing this bill, to Senator Randy Robertson and Representative Sharon Cooper for leading the fight to shepherd this bill across the finish line, and to Governor Brian Kemp for making good on his promise that the Heartbeat Bill was only the beginning.

Together for Life,

Martha Zoller
Executive Director
