Georgia's Six-Week Abortion Ban Overturned by Court
In a significant legal victory for reproductive rights, a Fulton County judge has ruled that Georgia's controversial six-week abortion ban is unconstitutional. This ruling not only strikes down the state's restrictive abortion law but also allows abortions to resume beyond the six-week mark, extending access up to 22 weeks of pregnancy. The judge's decision, which was described as 'stunning' and reminiscent of themes from 'The Handmaid’s Tale,' emphasizes the importance of personal autonomy and reproductive health. This ruling is a part of an ongoing legal battle surrounding abortion rights in Georgia, and it reflects a growing resistance against stringent abortion laws across the country.
