Editorial: State’s 'heartbeat' bill will require more people with hearts to help children, parents

When the state passed the “heartbeat” bill March 29 prohibiting most abortions after 6 weeks, Gov. Brian Kemp said something we might all be able to agree on: protecting life does not end here. Whether you define life as beginning at conception, 6 weeks, 20 weeks, birth or some other time in between, society shouldn’t abandon that child once it arrives in the world. During debate about the law, anti-abortion advocates were often challenged by their opponents to be as passionate about children after birth as during gestation. Kemp's comments make it clear that is a mission in which we all must be involved on an ongoing basis.
