Lawmaker to withdraw ‘anti-burqa’ bill after wave of criticism
"State Rep. Jason Spencer, R-Woodbine, said Thursday he will withdraw his proposed legislation that would ban women from wearing burqas on public property in Georgia. Spencer filed the bill on Monday, the first day lawmakers could present legislation to be considered when the Legislature returns in January.
Spencer claimed his bill would pass constitutional muster but that political forces were too strong against it.
“While this bill does not contain language that specifically targets any group, I am mindful of the perception that it has created,” he said in a statement. “My objective was to address radical elements that could pose a threat to public safety. However, further consideration dictates that other solutions will need to be considered. ”
