Speaker of the Georgia House Jon Burns has announced he’ll

support legislation protecting in vitro fertilization in Georgia. On today’s

episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast,

hosts Bill Nigut and Patricia Murphy discuss the speaker’s announcement and how

a similar measure was blocked by Republicans in the U.S. Senate.

But first, Lauren Groh-Wargo, CEO of Fair Fight Action, the

voting rights and grassroots activist organization founded by Stacey Abrams

joins the podcast to discuss a new initiative designed to recruit Georgians to

- in their words - “empower everyday Americans to support voters and protect

our democratic process from election deniers and conspiracy theorists trying to

tear our country apart.” Groh-Wargo told the podcast that Fair Fight will also

work to build a grassroots army of volunteers to turn out voters for Joe Biden.

Plus, Patricia reports on the controversy roiling around

Georgia House minority leader James Beverly, who has been accused by a staff

member of sexual harassment.

Then, as we do every Friday, Bill and Patricia answer

listener questions from the Politically Georgia Mailbag and give you their

winners and losers of the week during Who’s Up and Who’s Down.

Have a question for the show? Call the 24-hour

Politically Georgia Podcast Hotline at 770-810-5297. We’ll play

back your question and answer it during the listener mailbag segment on next

Friday's episode.
