Judge Strikes Down Georgia's 6-Week Abortion Ban

The ruling allows physicians in the state to provide abortions past six weeks of pregnancy for the first time since the restriction was enacted in 2022.

A judge in Georgia struck down the state’s six-week abortion ban on Monday afternoon.

The Fulton County Superior Court judge ruled the abortion ban unconstitutional under Georgia’s state constitution. Physicians can now provide abortion after six weeks of pregnancy.

The six-week abortion ban was enacted in 2022, shortly after the Supreme Court repealed Roe v. Wade.
