Setting the record straight
A new ad campaign aims to separate fact from fiction when it comes to Georgia's new election law.
Jeff Hoverson, the District 3 state representative and a pastor, tells One News Now one of his bills addresses the medical bills that pile up after bringing a child into the world.
“If that passes,” he says, “the state would fund the delivery of the baby. And also if she chooses to adopt to a couple that is married, that is opposite gender, mother and father, then we would pay for that, too.”
The second state law Hoverson is proposing more directly addresses abortion: The abortionist, and anyone who assists him or her, would be guilty of a felony.
“Too radical for some, I think,” the state rep acknowledges, “but we feel after 45 years that we need out-of-the-box thinking.
Women undergoing the abortion would not face punishment.
Even among pro-life groups, there are mixed views of that bill.
Hoverson, who is a father of six, also wants state legislation that would nullify Roe v Wade or exempt the ruling from applying to North Dakota.
The legislator points out that Colorado, for example, legalized marijuana despite federal laws. If a state can legalize pot, he reasons, why not save unborn babies?
