Post-Roe Leak

In Light Of Roe V. Wade, Clark Said Life Was A “God-Given Right” And Wanted To Introduce A Personhood Amendment To Overturn Abortion Protections. According to Union Recorder, “Business owner Josh Clark said life is a ‘God-given right’ and plans to introduce a personhood amendment with no exceptions for rape and incest, if elected. Part of Clark’s campaign message targets overturning abortion protections. During his time as a state legislature, he helped champion and pass the ‘Fetal Pain Bill,’ which ended abortions after 20 weeks in Georgia.” [Union Recorder, 5/9/22]

In Instances Of Rape, Clark Advocated For Adoption Over An Abortion. According to Union Recorder, “‘…They asked…‘What happens if they rape your daughter?’ And I said, first of all, we're going to either put the child up for adoption or we're going to raise that child, but why should the child be murdered for the sins of the father?’ Clark said. ‘Sometimes that's even a tear jerker when I think about that, so no, there should not be exceptions. And yes, I will work hard to pass that.’” [Union Recorder, 5/9/22]
