In a major win for abortion rights, a judge in Georgia struck down the state’s six-week abortion ban Monday, ruling it unconstitutional and ordering authorities to return to laws that were in place before 2022’s overturning of Roe v. Wade. Abortions are now legal in Georgia until around 22 weeks of pregnancy, though Monday’s ruling will likely be challenged and is expected to land before Georgia’s Supreme Court for a final decision.
