The Historical Record

Fifty years of a legal order built on the denial that the pre-born are persons. And the last three years of the fight to take that denial back out of the law.

  1. Jan 1973

    Roe v. Wade

    The Supreme Court invents a 'right to privacy' that encompasses the right to kill a child. This unconstitutional decree stripped personhood from the unborn, leading to decades of bloodshed.

  2. Jan 1973

    Doe v. Bolton

    Released alongside Roe, this Georgia case defined 'health of the mother' so broadly that abortion was effectively allowed on demand through all nine months. It came from Georgia's own Supreme Court.

  3. Jun 1992

    Planned Parenthood v. Casey

    The Court upheld the core holding of Roe and established the 'Undue Burden' standard, ensuring abortion remained protected and restricting what states could do.

  4. 2011

    The Rise of the Abolition Movement

    Small groups of Christians began rejecting the strategy of regulating evil instead of abolishing it, and began planting the seeds of bills like HB 441.

  5. May 2019

    Georgia's Heartbeat Bill (HB 481)

    Signed by Gov. Kemp. Bans abortion after detectable cardiac activity, with exceptions. A step forward that still leaves children without legal protection before roughly six weeks.

  6. Jun 2022

    Dobbs v. Jackson

    Roe is overturned. Authority to protect life returns to the states, and the excuse of federal tyranny is removed.

  7. Jul 2022

    The LIFE Act Takes Effect

    HB 481 becomes enforceable. Georgia bans abortion after roughly six weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions for medical emergency, rape, incest, and fetal anomaly.

  8. Feb 2023

    HB 496 — Equal Protection, First Attempt

    Rep. Emory Dunahoo files the Georgia Prenatal Equal Protection Act for the first time. It receives six co-sponsors and dies in committee without a hearing.

  9. Feb 2025

    HB 441 — Equal Protection, Reintroduced

    Rep. Dunahoo refiles the bill as HB 441. It garners 21 Republican co-sponsors — 22% of the House Republican caucus — and receives a hearing in the House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee on March 26, 2025, with more than a hundred people in the hallway.

  10. Apr 2026

    HB 441 Dies Without a Vote

    The bill never receives a committee vote and dies at sine die on April 2, 2026, at 25% of its life. Georgia Life Alliance had formally opposed it and objected even to the hearing.

  11. Nov 2026

    The 2026 Election

    Democrats take the Georgia House for the first time in more than two decades — roughly 91 of 180 seats — and nominate Rep. Carolyn Hugley for Speaker, who would be the first Black woman to hold the gavel. Republicans retain the Senate, 29 seats to 27, and Gov.-elect Bottoms pledges repeal of the six-week ban at the first opportunity.

  12. Jan 2027

    The Fight Ahead

    Organizing day decides whether the lieutenant governor keeps his tie-break in a Senate where the repeal vote lives. All 236 seats come up again in 2028, on maps that cannot be redrawn.
