The Georgia Supreme Court has rejected a lower court ruling that the state’s restrictive abortion law was invalid, leaving limited access to abortions unchanged for now
The Georgia Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a lower court ruling that the state's restrictive abortion law was invalid, leaving limited access to abortions unchanged for now.
The state Supreme Court had previously allowed enforcement of the ban to resume while it considered an appeal of the lower court decision. The lower court judge has also not ruled on the merits of other arguments in a lawsuit challenging the ban, including that it violates Georgia residents' rights to privacy.
“This abortion ban has forced Georgians to travel across state lines at great expense or continue the life-altering consequences of pregnancy and childbirth against their wills,” she said in a statement. In Tuesday's ruling, Colvin said McBurney's decision was based on the “faulty premise” that the U.S. Supreme Court changed the meaning of the U.S. Constitution when it overruled Roe.
