I am a rape and stalking survivor. Fortunately, I never needed an abortion. However, many women who were in my position were not so lucky. I have heard accounts of many in light of the Dobbs decision who needed abortions so they were not stuck with a constant reminder of…

Dear Brian Kemp, You’ve walked by me and didn’t even know. Last year, when my dad’s name was engraved on the Georgia Public Safety Memorial, you shook my mom’s hand, handed her a plaque, and thanked her for my father’s service. Before his death, my father served in the United…
