Former Sen. David Perdue called on Gov. Brian Kemp on Thursday to join Perdue in vowing to hold a special session to ban all abortion in Georgia if the U.S. Supreme Court decides to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Perdue, who is hoping to unseat Kemp in the state’s Republican gubernatorial primary race, said he would go further than the state’s current “heartbeat” bill, which Kemp signed in 2019 but that is currently held up in court, to instead push to institute a full ban on abortion.
Perdue’s call comes after Politico released a leaked draft of a Supreme Court decision on Monday that would overturn the decades-old Roe decision, which had ruled that access to abortions was constitutional at a federal level.
“Bonnie and I believe that every child is a gift from God. Any ruling from the Supreme Court that would save innocent lives would be an historic milestone,” Perdue said in an initial statement Tuesday. “If I were Governor when this ruling was issued, I would immediately call the legislature back into a special session to ban abortion in Georgia.”
Perdue’s abortion ban proposal, which does not at this point specify exceptions in the case of rape or incest, is more stringent than the current six-week ban Kemp signed, which specifies exceptions in the cases of rape, incest, and the life of the mother being in danger.

The timing of this R v Wade ruling is as suspicious as the timing of its leak, to push a drunken rage during a war in Ukraine and bad economy what not.
Maybe it is Easter and the gods are mad this way before the coming season of fetal blood to be poured on their altar.
Not sure if I understand his point here. There already is a bill pending? Whe take another stand, for most people a stringent stand at that, when you are close to winner the abortion. battle.
I’m not seeing much of Perdue down here.....What the heck is going on?
I have been wondering about the timing of this leak as well. Something to stir up the protesters again.
I posted this because I wanted more info on Perdue and was hoping FReepers knew something..anything.
Brian Kemp seems like he’s got a backbone when it comes to fighting abortion so why now is Perdue making this statement?
His point is his campaign against Kemp is on life support with the election a couple weeks away.
Nice try Perdue. I had you down for a loser ever since you lost to the young twat.
