Georgia Supreme Court Reinstates Six-Week Abortion Ban

The decision overturns a lower court ruling and reignites debate ahead of the U.S. presidential election.

The Georgia Supreme Court has reinstated a law banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, overturning a previous decision that allowed the procedure up to 22 weeks.
The ruling comes amid a heated political climate, with abortion rights a central issue in the upcoming November elections.
The decision follows the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, giving states the power to set their own abortion laws.
Critics argue that the six-week ban is arbitrary and poses risks, as many women may not know they are pregnant at this early stage.
The ruling has sparked significant controversy and confusion, with implications for women's health and legal rights in Georgia.
