Atlanta, Ga. - Georgia OB-GYNs are warning Georgia's abortion ban is risking the lives of pregnant women in Georgia, and now, U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff wants to hear from Georgians and their families directly.

Last month, OB-GYN doctors testified before Sen. Ossoff's Human Rights Subcommittee that women have been denied care during miscarriages because of Georgian's abortion ban and shared stories of some who became septic and nearly died as a result.

Today, Sen. Ossoff is inviting Georgia families who have been impacted by Georgia's abortion ban to share their own stories with his Human Rights Subcommittee as part of its ongoing inquiry into the dangers to Georgia women's health and human rights caused by the state's 6-week abortion ban, risking the health of pregnant women who face complications and worsening the state's shortage of OB-GYN doctors.

"I want to hear from you about the impact on health care for pregnant women in Georgia of Georgia's six-week abortion ban," Sen. Ossoff said in a new PSA video. "Recently, I convened a hearing of my Human Rights Subcommittee, where we heard from OB-GYN doctors and maternal fetal medicine specialists about the impact that Georgia's six-week abortion ban is having on the quality of health care available to pregnant women and newborn babies in the state of Georgia."

"We want to hear your stories, whether you're a health care provider or someone who's recently been treated in Georgia's health care system, about how Georgia's six-week abortion ban has changed the care to which you have access has impacted your health or has impacted your medical practice," Sen. Ossoff continued.
