Women's rights according to the Republican party
Channel: Athens Politics Nerd
Date: 06/05/2019

In the 2019 Georgia legislative session, we saw the Georgia Republican party trample on the rights of women to protect and expand their own political power. Sexual harassment rules were weakened to protect male politicians, women Senators were denied access to important committees and HB 481 was passed to overturn Roe v Wade.
