Judge Overturns Georgia Abortion Ban

HeadlineNov 16, 2022

A Georgia judge overturned the state’s six-week abortion ban Tuesday in a major victory for reproductive justice. The law had previously been blocked in 2019 but went into effect in July after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney found the ban violated the U.S. Constitution and Supreme Court precedent when it was originally enacted in 2019.
