Fulton County Court Strikes Down Georgia's Six-Week Abortion Ban, Allows Abortions Up to 22 Weeks
Sep 30, 2024, 08:30 PM
A state court in Georgia has struck down the state's six-week abortion ban, ruling it unconstitutional. Fulton County Superior Judge Robert McBurney issued the order, stating that abortions must be regulated as they were before the 2019 law took effect in July 2022. This decision allows abortions to be performed up to 22 weeks of pregnancy. The ruling comes after the ban was linked to the deaths of two pregnant patients who were unable to receive necessary medical treatment. The judge's decision emphasized the rights to privacy and liberty guaranteed by the Georgia constitution. The case is expected to be appealed to the state Supreme Court.
