Georgia Judge Strikes Down Six-Week Abortion Ban
In a significant ruling, a Georgia judge has overturned the state's six-week 'heartbeat' abortion law, declaring it unconstitutional. This decision allows abortions to resume beyond six weeks of pregnancy, marking a substantial shift in the state's abortion regulations. The ruling has been welcomed by reproductive rights advocates, with organizations like the ACLU and Reproductive Freedom for All Georgia celebrating the decision. The judge's ruling not only halts the enforcement of the stringent abortion ban but also underscores ongoing legal battles surrounding reproductive rights in the region.
