In February, Georgia's heartbeat law, which restricts abortion after a discernable heartbeat is detected (around six weeks) except in the cases of rape, incest, or the life of the mother, was once again upheld by the Georgia Supreme Court in a 6-1 decision. //

But for a faction of life advocates known as "abortion abolitionists," so-called heartbeat bills do not stop abortions from happening. Their aim is to change this, making it illegal to have one. In March, State Rep. Emory Dunahoo (R-31) introduced House Bill 441 (HB 441), the "Georgia Prenatal Equal Protection Act," which would make abortion a criminal act. If made law, it would remove the six-week timeframe of the heartbeat law and the exceptions that go along with it.

HB 441 was crafted by the Foundation to Abolish Abortion (FAA), a non-profit, which, according to its X bio, seeks to "exalt and vindicate the image of God by promoting sound public policy that provides equal protection under the law to all preborn human beings."

Since the 2022 overturn of Roe v. Wade, there has been a concerted pushing of the envelope on fetal personhood. Like the Tyrannosaurus rex in Jurassic Park, who tested the electrified fence in order to find the weakness, abortion abolitionists like FAA are seeking to make fetal personhood not just a thing but established law; and the only way to do this is to keep challenging the legislative fences. //

FAA, as do most abortion abolitionist groups, rejects the premise of pro-life incrementalism in favor of immediatism. They also do not consider the established pro-life cause merely inept but wholly corrupt. They view these long-established organizations and veterans of the movement as part of the problem. In testimony in support of HB 441, this was expressed by Louisiana Pastor and abolitionist Brian Gunter.
