Callahan, who helped found Middle Georgia 4 Choice, shared her story alongside other Middle Georgia abortion rights advocates on a panel Friday. The women eventually founded a permanent group, Middle Georgia 4 Choice, to advance abortion rights at the local, state and federal levels. While many panelists and attendees wore clothes and carried signs displaying abortion rights slogans, others also bought T-shirts and signs supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential bid. Since the overturning of Roe, abortion has become a major electoral issue, motivating some female voters across America to head to the ballot box for abortion rights candidates and to stop amendments to state constitutions limiting abortion rights. The panel was organized by Ride to Decide, an abortion rights advocacy group visiting a range of locations to host events with local activists.
