22 weeks to 6 is ridiculous. People can’t even plan dnd meetups in that time let alone decide if they want a child. Even Less time if they didn’t know they were late which they would notice around 6 week a-holes!
The whole point of a 6-week ban is to be a de facto total ban while giving the illusion that it gives people 6 weeks to make up their mind.
Thanks Atlanta!!!
This fight isn’t over I think. Someone that knows more about law than I, want to help me understand what this means for actual abortion access in Georgia? Seems like this just kicks off some appeals process or state legal fight.
Edit:
Kara Murray, a spokesperson for Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, said he would immediately appeal to the state supreme court. The state high court earlier reversed a separate ruling by McBurney that had struck down the law on different grounds and could put Monday’s ruling on hold pending an appeal.

and
The ruling, by Judge Robert C.I. McBurney of Fulton County Superior Court, is unlikely to be the final word because of the expectation that the case will ultimately be decided by the Georgia Supreme Court.
