This has major implications for the fight for fundamental human rights after Roe’s overthrow allowed states to impose cruel and deadly abortion bans on women and girls.
Georgia’s 2019 six-week abortion ban, which went into effect in 2022, was rescinded by a Fulton County judge today, making the abortion ban unenforceable in the Peach State. Clinics are now able to resume essential care.
Fulton County Senior Judge Robert McBurney ordered abortions to be regulated as before, which the Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote “means abortion procedures will once again be allowed up to approximately 22 weeks of pregnancy.” are.

“If we consider the interpretation of “freedom” by our high court, we find that freedom in Georgia includes, among its meanings, protections, and a set of rights: control over one’s body and what happens within it. and reject state interference with her medical choices,” McBurney ruled. “But its power is not infinite. Only when the fetus growing inside a woman reaches viability and society can assume care and responsibility for that separate life, then can society intervene. It can be done.
Amnesty International states that abortion is a human right, and makes particular reference to freedom, stating, “The right to freedom and security of the person: Arbitrary and unjust detention and unjust state protection, including decisions regarding pregnancy and family life, , interference with a person’s life.” Abortion criminal laws instill fear in seeking abortion and emergency services for pregnancy-related complications, including those resulting from miscarriage, for fear of being imprisoned. The criminalization of abortion forces pregnant women to undergo unsafe abortions and violates their right to physical and physical safety. ”
Georgia’s abortion ban has already been found to be the culprit. The preventable death, and perhaps even murder, of a young mother. ProPublica said, “…ProPublica has obtained reports confirming that at least two women have already died without access to legal abortion or timely medical care in the state, and almost certainly others. There are also women.”
Abortion bans in Texas and other states similarly fail to protect the health, liberty, and privacy of pregnant women.
Abortion care is medical care. Abortion is a human right. It is a private matter and has nothing to do with the state.
Federal legislation is needed to protect pregnant women across this country from the atrocities that often follow self-indulgence. Because even if they become murderers, these people will keep trying until they are stopped. They callously and ignorantly criticize others.
