Georgia Dem Senate Candidate Opposed to Abortion Law Said in 2010 Life Began at Conception
2019-05-16
[Free beacon] Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Teresa Tomlinson said in 2010 she believed in life at conception, but she told MSNBC Saturday it was "biologically impossible" for one person to live within another while criticizing the newly signed Georgia abortion law.

Campaign spokeswoman Caitlin Highland told the Washington Free Beacon that Tomlinson "disputes the suggestion that personhood begins at conception" when asked if she had changed her mind about her earlier position.

"Because Mayor Tomlinson believes in biology, she understands that cellular life begins at conception," Highland said in an email. "But cellular life is not personhood; she vehemently disputes the suggestion that personhood begins at conception, or anytime up to birth."

Tomlinson, an attorney who served two terms as mayor of Columbus, Georgia, announced her bid to seek the Democratic nomination shortly after Stacey Abrams declined to enter the race.

She has been harshly critical of the pro-life bill signed by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R.), which outlaws abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, often around the six-week mark of a pregnancy. It excludes victims of rape or incest. Pro-choice groups have vowed to go to court and fight the law, which will go into effect in 2020.

Tomlinson told MSNBC's Joy Reid on Saturday that the goal of the legislation was to "overturn" Roe vs. Wade.
