ATLANTA — Georgia’s highest court will decide whether or not the state’s six-week ban on abortions is constitutional. Channel 2 Action News has learned that the Georgia Supreme Court will issue its ruling early Tuesday morning.

The justices are not deciding whether abortion is legal in Georgia. It’s considering if the law banning it after about six weeks is legal.

As it stands currently, the heartbeat abortion law bans abortions at six weeks. Abortions after about six weeks are allowed in cases of rape and incest, as long as a police report is filed. Abortion is also allowed when a mother’s life is at risk, or if the fetus is not medically viable.

The Tenth Amendment should settle this issue by default. If it’s not a reserved power, it belongs to the state to decide.

If the state legislature passed a law, SCOTUS has ruled that is constitutional.

The state SC needs to stay in its lane.

States should not be allowed to sanction the murder of innocents at any age.

States have their own constitutions.

Georgia Supreme Court sends abortion ban case back to Fulton judge, law remains in effect

https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/georgia-supreme-court-sends-abortion-ban-case-back-fulton-superior-court-law-remains-effect/HRW7RSN4IZHP5HJ7WGSVLZVXRE/

ATLANTA — The Georgia Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that the state law banning abortions after six weeks can remain intact pending further legal action by a lower court.

In the majority opinion, Justice Verda Colvin disagreed with Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney’s decision in November to overturn the ban on abortions after six weeks.

Therefore, the court is sending the case back to Fulton County for the judge to address each part of the law and determine its constitutionality.

Praise the Lord! More children can be saved in the meantime!

Of course its constitutional. The SCOTUS just sent the abortion issue back to the states. Whatever the state decides is constitutional.
