Georgia abortion ban struck down once again in ongoing legal battle

A Fulton County superior court judge struck down Georgia's 2022 ban on abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy on Monday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Why it matters: As a result of the judge's decision, abortions are now legally allowed until about 22 weeks of pregnancy, per the AJC.

What they're saying: "When a fetus growing inside a woman reaches viability, when society can assume care and responsibility for that separate life, then — and only then — may society intervene," Fulton County Superior Judge Robert McBurney wrote in the order issued Monday.
