Georgia Judge Overturns Six-Week Abortion Ban

The ruling reinstates abortion access up to 22 weeks, citing constitutional rights to liberty and privacy.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney declared Georgia's six-week abortion ban unconstitutional.
The decision allows abortions to be performed in Georgia up to 22 weeks of pregnancy.
Judge McBurney emphasized that the Georgia Constitution protects a woman's right to control her own body and healthcare choices.
The ruling comes after the deaths of two women in Georgia, which highlighted the dangers of restrictive abortion laws.
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr announced plans to appeal the decision, aiming to reinstate the six-week ban.
