(WALB) - Georgia lawmakers could be headed toward a major debate
over abortion.   A pre-bill proposed a change to Georgia's
constitution that would stand up for the right to life for every
human being regardless of age, race, sex, health, function, or
condition of dependency, potentially banning abortion. If
Georgia lawmaker decide to take up the amendment, it would
define what the state considers a paramount right to life.  At
Sherwood's Alpha Pregnancy Center, they support the lawmakers
effort to provide protections for the state's unborn children.
"Anything the state would do to encourage the woman to protect
her and protect the unborn. I believe since 1973 there's been a
lot of measures as I understand about 500 measures that states
all over the country have put in to try and encourage the life
of the unborn," said David Smith,
