SAVANNAH, Ga. — The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday halted a ruling striking down the state's near-ban on abortions while it considers the state's appeal.
In a dissenting opinion, Justice John J. Ellington argued that the case “should not be predetermined in the State's favor before the appeal is even docketed.” “There’s no there’s no right to privacy in the abortion process because there’s another individual involved,” Bartlett said. She added: “It goes back to protecting those who are the most vulnerable and can’t speak for themselves.”
Leaders of carafem, an Atlanta abortion provider that had planned to expand its services after McBurney's ruling, expressed dismay at the law's reinstatement. Georgia has a separate criminal law that makes illegal abortions punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providers, but not for women having abortions. In addition, the 2019 ban puts physicians at risk of losing their medical licenses if they perform unpermitted abortions.
Thirteen U.S. states are now enforcing bans on abortion at all stages of pregnancy and four ban abortions around the sixth week of pregnancy.
