And with this, Kemp puts to bed any doubt that he is anything less than a right-wing extremist.

I honestly dont even get the point of why these are the types of issues Republicans run on? Do they EVER run on anything to help people in any way, or is their whole platform always about protecting companies at the expense of consumers, tax breaks for the ultra wealthy at the expense of the middle class, and legalized discrimination at the expense of minority communities and the LGBT citizens?

I wonder how many of these votes for Abrams are coming from the Atlanta area..

I'm technically not one as I am from Savannah, but I have lived in the Atlanta area and am frequently here (I am now) for work.

It was said before, but I believe the reliable blue areas will be Atlanta and its suburbs as well as the so called 2nd tier cities and some rural areas depending on race, unfortunately.

That is a very good question.

As far as I can find, that's the most recent version, and the one that Governor Deal vetoed in 2016. I read it, the whole thing. All it does is prevent any religious organization with a sincerely held belief against a lifestyle, from being forced, or coerced by government, to perform an act, or have on its staff a person, whose lifestyle is in contradiction to that organization's sincerely held beliefs. The law provides the definitions and they aren't broad, and they certainly aren't just Christian. Literally no part of the law limits the coverage to Christians. So other than being threatened by a few organizations who don't even have a stake in the game anyways, what is the problem with this law???
The bottom line is; this bill will hurt Georgia’s economy due to many businesses being turned off by it.

It’s not wort it.
