Georgia Supreme Court reinstates six-week abortion ban in the state, putting a ruling by a lower court that overturned the ban on hold
The brief, one-page order says the emergency petition filed to put a hold on a lower court ruling overturning the ban has been granted. “The State of Georgia’s Emergency Petition for Supersedeas seeking a stay of the order of the Superior Court of Fulton County in the above-styled action is hereby granted,” the order reads.
A lower court ruling last week had put the abortion ban on hold, calling it “unconstitutional.” In his opinion, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney wrote that when the LIFE Act was passed by Georgia lawmakers and signed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in the spring of 2019, “the supreme law of this land unequivocally was – and had been for nearly half a century – that laws unduly restricting abortion before viability were unconstitutional.
