On Wednesday, the Georgia Supreme Court upheld the state’s fetal heartbeat law, which bans abortion after a medical provider can detect a baby’s heartbeat.
“In a one-page order, the high court put a lower court ruling overturning the ban on hold while it considers an appeal,” reports the Associated Press. “Abortion providers who had resumed performing the procedure past six weeks after the lower court ruling will again have to stop.”
The order said seven of the nine justices had agreed to the decision. It said one was disqualified and another did not participate.
The ruling is a temporary reinstatement of the provision, and attorneys for the state have yet to file the motion to permanently reinstate the fetal heartbeat abortion restriction.
The ruling came just over a week after a Fulton County Superior Court judge enjoined the abortion restriction on the technicality that the General Assembly passed the law in 2019, before the U.S. Supreme Court issued the Dobbs ruling, putting abortion laws in the hands of the individual states.
“At that time — the spring of 2019 — everywhere in America, including Georgia, it was unequivocally unconstitutional for governments — federal, state, or local — to ban abortions before viability,” McBurney wrote in his ruling on November 15.
McBurney’s ruling only blocked the fetal heartbeat portions of the law, leaving its other provisions intact.
“We are pleased with the Court’s action today,” said Kara Richardson, spokesperson for Attorney General Chris Carr. “However, we are unable to provide further comment due to the pending appeal.”
Gov. Brian Kemp’s office declined to comment because of the continuing litigation, but pro-life groups in Georgia were happy with the Supreme Court’s ruling.

This is going to piss the far left, Stalinist baby killers, off. The DNC isn’t going to need to import Mexicans to have babies for them afterall.
Good
There was a thread a week or so ago about McBurney’s asinine logic. In pantheon of stupid judges, this Harvard-trained imbecile shines brightly as one of the dumbest of the dumb. McBurney basically said, “Okay, Roe vs. Wade might be null and void now, but it wasn’t null and void when the Georgia heart law was passed therefore Roe can be used to nullify the Georgia law (and presumably any other abortion restriction passed before June 24, 2022).” The utter illogic of that reasoning defies belief. If McBurney’s rationale were correct, then how could the Mississippi law in question in the Dobbs case, it too having been passed before June 24, 2022, have ever have been upheld?
But I suspect there’s a possibility that Harvard grad McBurney isn’t really as stupid as his ruling would suggest. Perhaps he just got cute trying to be a hero to his pro-abortion cronies, and though he knew the illogic of his ruling would never stand up upon appeal, he wanted to be able to say that he tried by hook or crook to stop the pro-life law.

excellent...most women will not and would not abort...why they vote for abortion is beyond me...
Make no mistake . They did this now make sure Walker loses. Obviously they did it to influence run off. First they gave the rats what they wanted for the early voting now this. The Georgia SC are Democrat operatives. The proper thing would have been to wait a couple of weeks but noo.
With that, Walker will lose. Book it.
Wait a couple of weeks…. You mean murder more babies for a couple of weeks. Yes, that would be a much more conservative thing to do to win a political race.
The RAT's god Moloch will be angered by this decision. He's hungry!
If they define death as a lack of heartbeat, then logically life starts when a heartbeat is detected. Seems to make sense.
Exactly why it was done. To goose turnout for the runoff.
It’s a damn shame when the only thing the Marxist “democrat” big, mouthed politicians have to offer their supporters are dead infants. Some things never change.
How many babies should the Georgia Supreme Court have allowed to be murdered to influence the run-off election?
His reasoning defies logic indeed
This Shallow short sighted thinking will get many more killed when the rats have a 52-48 Senate majority. The Georgia SC is doing all it can to make it happen.
