ATLANTA (Feb. 27, 2024) — Tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb. 28th, Democratic Caucus Chair Sen. Elena Parent (D–Atlanta) will hold a press conference to discuss two bills in which she is filing, Senate Bill 564, “The Right to Contraception Act” and Senate Bill 565, “The Right to IVF Act.”
"The Right to Contraception Act” works to ensure Georgians have access to contraception, while “The Right to IVF Act” would ensure that access to in vitro fertility treatment is not compromised by the definition or status of a human embryo created outside a human uterus.
"With the increasing concern regarding access to contraception and family planning in Georgia and across the nation, Sen. Parent believes that it is the responsibility of legislators in this state to act now."
Senator Parent's press conference is scheduled for Wednesday, February 28th, at 9:30 a.m. at Room 203, Coverdell Legislative Office Building, 18 Capitol Sq. SW Atlanta, GA. 30334. The event is open to the public.
Sen. Elena Parent serves as Chair of the Senate Democratic Caucus and represents the 42nd Senate District, which includes portions of DeKalb County.
For media inquiries and attendance confirmation, members of the press are requested to contact Sydney Horwitz at the Senate Press Office (Sydney.Horwitz@senate.ga.gov).
