A Georgia House panel held an important discussion Wednesday on House Bill 441, which seeks to expand the state’s laws to provide stronger protections for unborn children by banning abortion entirely. While the bill is still in early stages, it has sparked a passionate debate about the sanctity of life and the need to protect the most vulnerable.

Rep. Emory Dunahoo, the bill’s sponsor and a Gillsville Republican, passionately argued that Georgia must do more to protect the lives of unborn children, emphasizing that the state should not tolerate the continuation of abortion. “Tens of thousands of babies, made in the image of God, continue to be murdered in our state every year, all within the bounds of the current law. That must be changed,” he stated. His bill would classify abortion after fertilization as homicide and would hold individuals accountable for their actions, unless it can be proven that the abortion was coerced.

Supporters of the bill, including pro-life advocates and organizations, turned out in force to show their support for stronger protection of life. Many sang hymns and prayed aloud during the hearing, demonstrating their belief that life begins at conception and must be defended at all costs.
