Amy Coney Barrett signed an ad calling Roe v Wade "barbaric" and spoke to anti-abortion groups. Now she won’t say whether Roe was wrongly decided. Don’t be fooled: Barrett has an agenda to get on the Court to overturn reproductive rights.

Thank you to @southerncenter and @ACLUofGA for their commitment to justice. #WeAreDoneDying

Last night was tough for so many people who love Atlanta.
