Georgia's Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed legislation on Tuesday banning abortions once a fetal heartbeat can be detected. That can be as early as six weeks, before many women know they're pregnant.

We will always continue to fight for life.", energized by the new conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court that includes President Donald Trump appointees Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, are pushing abortion bans in an attack on the high court's 1973 Roe v.
Planned Parenthood's statement says the bill "criminalizes doctors who provide life-saving care" and "allows the state to investigate women for having miscarriages." The organization vowed Tuesday to campaign to unseat the lawmakers who supported it, saying "They will be held accountable for playing politics with women's health."
"Every federal court that has heard a challenge to a similar ban has ruled that it's unconstitutional," Young added.
