Georgia Supreme Court Reinstates Six-Week Abortion Ban Pending Appeal
Oct 7, 2024, 05:42 PM
Georgia's six-week abortion ban has been reinstated by the state's Supreme Court effective as of 5 p.m. on October 7, 2024, following a one-justice dissenting order. The ban, known as the "heartbeat" law, prohibits most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, often before women realize they are pregnant. The reinstatement comes a week after Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled the ban unconstitutional and invalidated the law, which had been effective since 2022. Georgia's Republican Attorney General Chris Carr swiftly appealed the decision and requested the Supreme Court to allow enforcement of the ban during the appeal process. The Supreme Court's order reinstates the ban while the legal battle continues.
