The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The second gentleman sees it as a call to action

Two years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ending nearly 50 years of federally guaranteed abortion rights. This decision has led to a complex landscape of bans and restrictions across the United States, including in Georgia.

Abortion has become a central issue in the 2024 election, influencing voters from all sides. While the debate often centers on women's rights, Second gentleman Doug Emhoff believes it is also a crucial issue for men. In a recent interview with GPB’s Pamela Kirkland, Emhoff discussed the broader implications of this ruling and the importance of male advocacy for reproductive rights.
