(CNN)Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams on Sunday called for a legislative solution that would restore nationwide access to abortion following last week's US Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade as some states, including her own, move to restrict the procedure. "We know that the right to choose should not be divvied up amongst states. And that the sinister practice of taking constitutional rights and allowing each state to decide the quality of your citizenship is wrong. Women deserve bodily autonomy, they deserve the right to make these choices," Abrams told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, Abram's Republican opponent in November, signed a bill in 2019 that bans abortions when a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which can be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy -- when many women don't yet know they're pregnant. The law was later blocked by a federal district judge as unconstitutional. On Friday, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, a Republican, filed a notice with the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals, requesting it reverse the district court's decision and allow the state's abortion law to go into effect, a move touted by Kemp.
"In Georgia in particular, in a matter of days, this six-week ban will be the law of the land. That is horrendous. That is appalling. And it is wrong. And, as the next governor, I'm going to do everything in my power to reverse it," Abrams said Sunday.

Didn’t the supreme court just say that abortion is not a federal issue? I guess there could be an amendment to the constitution.
This fact bears repeating. When I was in the military and stationed stateside they made it clear to us that, on or off base, we were subject to the laws of the state where the base was located. You can’t do something on base that was illegal just outside the gate.
Apparently Stacy doesn’t understand the Roe v Wade ruling. 😆
All of it
They do not believe in the Constitution
Yeah, that thought crossed my mind.
What better way to get Dems to the polls in November.
