Judge Robert McBurney ruled that Georgia's near-total abortion ban unconstitutionally restricts women's rights, asserting that personal healthcare decisions fall under privacy rights.
The ruling reinstates a previous law allowing abortions until viability, effectively expanding access from six weeks to approximately 22-24 weeks into a pregnancy.
Governor Brian Kemp emphasized that the ruling reflects one judge's beliefs over the will of the people in Georgia regarding abortion rights.
The Georgia Supreme Court's halt of the lower ruling allows for further consideration of the state's appeal on abortion regulations.
