(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.

What part of not constitutional are they not understanding?
About all of it.
It goes back to the states. Every state already has abortion laws on the books. That’s where we’re at.
For real they are like two year old children having a temper tantrum. They are screaming “I want it! I want it!” even though they have been told “NO!” sternly. Now dad need to put them over his knee. (Dad as in Trump)
Completely off topic.
Your posting efforts the last while have been outstanding.
Thank you.
And yet when on Fox News Abrams wouldn’t say she was against abortions even at 9 months, though asked repeatedly on this.
You are welcome.
I’ve waited for Roe to end for so long. This weekend I’ve been over the moon.
I knew it would end just not when or how but I always knew it would.
You have definitely been faithful to the cause! Congratulations on this long-awaited success..
It would automatically be illegal. Futile waste of time.
Demand a right to free abortions for black women and watch heads explode.
Thank you.
P2 calls for Gov. Stacy to lose 75 Lbs.
She’s really not too sharp.
We don’t really know the power of FR.
Steven K. Bannon’s
War Room does seem to touch off the Libs more than a bit.
That is a word salad worthy of Kamala!
I am sure there are some black voters, in Georgia, who are against abortion...It is very likely that most of those voters will still support her for Governor...Even though she is pro-abortion...Most black voters will not abandon her because of abortion issue...
I was going to post a pic of a baby hippopotamus
But the images were just too gross.
Go for it. It won’t pass. There are not enough votes in the House or the Senate to pass it.
