The Georgia Supreme Court reinstated the six-week abortion ban while appealing a lower court ruling that had allowed abortions up to 22 weeks, impacting women's rights.
Judge McBurney emphasized that Georgia's constitution protects a woman's autonomy over her body, asserting that the state cannot interfere with her healthcare decisions.
The brief window for obtaining abortions beyond six weeks left many women without timely access, as they often do not realize they are pregnant by then.
Following the temporary lift of the ban, clinics resumed providing abortions up to 22 weeks, demonstrating a push for reproductive rights amid restrictive legislation.
