On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s

emergencies when strict abortion laws like Georgia’s have prevented them from

getting care.

 

Then, Yana Batra joins the podcast to

discuss the planned walkout of students in schools across Georgia as they call

of stricter gun safety laws in the aftermath of the mass shooting at Apalachee

High School in Barrow County.

from the Politically Georgia listener mailbag and give their choices for who’s

up and who’s down this week.
