Three politicians from northeast Georgia, U.S. Rep. Doug Collins (R-Gainesville), Ga. Sen. Renee Unterman (R-Buford) and Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, were recently recognized for their pro-life legislative efforts.
The Georgia Life Alliance awarded Collins the Federal Legislator of the Year award, noting the congressman has "a 100 percent pro-life voting record with every pro-life organization in Washington D.C." according to a news release.
"“His partnership in the national pro-life strategy of defunding Planned Parenthood through the Reconciliation bill, H.R. 3762, proved again his commitment to working together to save the unborn," said Emily Matson, Georgia Life Alliance executive director.
Cagle was awarded the organization's Champion for Life Award, for "actively supporting pro-life legislation at the state capitol."
Unterman was awarded the State Senator of the Year Award, most notably for her work with S.B. 308, which established the Positive Alternatives for Pregnancy and Parenting Grant Program.
"Senator Unterman is one of the most effective advocates for life at the state capitol," said Matson.
All three were given their awards at the GLA's "Life at the Party Gala" on Sept. 10 at the Atlanta Athletic Club.
