Former Democratic congressman pledges support for abortion rights in Georgia Supreme Court bid
State Supreme Court races are typically below-the-radar nonpartisan contests in Georgia, but the state’s lone contested Supreme Court race on this month’s ballot has turned into a referendum on abortion rights.
John Barrow, a former Democratic congressman, has made reproductive rights the cornerstone of his campaign as he challenges Justice Andrew Pinson, who was appointed to the seat by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in 2022 to replace former Justice David E. Nahmias.
Three other state Supreme Court justices are running unopposed for another six-year term on the bench.
Barrow’s views on abortion are made plain by his campaign signs, which include the phrase “vote for choice,” and ads that feature him saying he will protect women’s rights.
