Anulewicz also criticized Kemp for not pushing for full Medicaid expansion, and noted another omission from his speech that she called notable for where the event took place.

"It's very interesting, we are here at Truist Park, we are here at the Battery, and sports betting didn't come up," she said.

As she has previously told the MDJ, sports betting was something Anulewicz hoped would have gained more traction under the Gold Dome this year. By not mentioning that hot-button item, Anulewicz said, the governor also did not address what revenue from sports betting could fund in Georgia. She said that revenue could go toward need-based HOPE scholarship funding, for example, to keep high-achieving Georgia students who are unable to afford the part of HOPE not covered by the merit scholarship from seeking better opportunities out-of-state.

ATLANTA JOURNAL CONSTITUTION: Anulewicz, the Democrat who co-sponsored Burns’ IVF resolution, had earlier introduced a bill to add legal protections for the process.

“I think it’s important that this be a bipartisan resolution as it is beyond clear that support for in vitro fertilization is bipartisan,” she said.

MARIETTA DAILY JOURNAL: As a woman, a mother, and a Georgian, I am committed to ensuring that our rights to make personal health decisions remain protected. Georgia’s Right to Contraception Act seeks to protect and preserve Georgians’ right to contraception, including condoms, the pill, and IUDs. I sought co-sponsors for the bill from across the aisle, but there were no takers.

11 ALIVE: State Rep. Teri Anulewicz (D-Smyrna) says because in vitro fertilization has broad support as a tool to build families, her bill should get backing from Republicans.

"I mean if you’re the party of family values, I would think you would support being able to have a family, in whatever way that family happens to take shape," Anulewicz said Monday.
