Victory in Georgia as Heartbeat Law Can Save Babies From Abortions Again

Georgia’s Supreme Court has reinstated the Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act, per the request of the state’s attorney general.

The Associated Press reports that the ruling came just one week after Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled the act as “unconstitutional.” This ruling allowed abortions to take place until approximately 22 weeks.

As CatholicVote previously reported, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr appealed McBurney’s decision and requested that the Supreme Court pause McBurney’s injunction and reinstate the LIFE Act until the appeal was reviewed.

The appeal reads, “The harm to the State and the public is significant and irreparable, as unborn children are at risk every day that the injunction continues. This Court granted a stay in nearly identical circumstances two years ago, and it should do the same here.”

The appeal continued, “As before, every day that illegal abortions continue is another day that the lives of tiny, unique individuals are ended. There are toddlers alive today because this Court stayed the superior court’s previous order.”
