Georgia Message to Congress: Defeat FOCA!
The federal “Freedom of Choice Act” will not make abortion safe or rare but will instead actively promote and subsidize abortion with state and federal tax dollars and do nothing to ensure its safety. Therefore, the members of this body strongly oppose the federal “Freedom of Choice Act” and urge the U.S. Congress to reject it summarily.

S.R. 156 introduced by Senator David Shafer of District 48 on February 6th and H.R. 334 introduced by Representative Jerry Keen of District 179 on February 18th remind us of a federal law that, if passed, could abolish all laws protecting unborn babies. Several times since 1989, Congress has introduced FOCA (Freedom of Choice Act), most recently in April 2007, with 109 cosponsors in the U.S. House and 19 in the U.S. Senate.
