Georgia Supreme Court Upholds Controversial Six-Week Abortion Ban

The Georgia Supreme Court has upheld the state's six-week abortion ban, known as House Bill 481 or the Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act. The court's majority opinion stated that the trial court erred in concluding that the law violated the U.S. Constitution when it was enacted. The decision comes after months of legal challenges and follows the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling last year that overturned Roe v. Wade. The ruling has been celebrated by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, while abortion rights advocates vow to continue fighting for reproductive rights.
