Abortion providers who had resumed performing the procedure past six weeks after the lower court ruling will again have to stop.

ATLANTA — The Georgia Supreme Court on Wednesday reinstated the state’s ban on abortions after roughly six weeks of pregnancy, abruptly ending access to later abortions that had resumed days earlier.

“It is outrageous that this extreme law is back in effect, just days after being rightfully blocked,” said Alice Wang, an attorney with the Center for Reproductive Rights, which also represents plaintiffs in the case. “This legal ping pong is causing chaos for medical providers trying to do their jobs and for patients who are now left frantically searching for the abortion services they need.”

Cardiac activity can be detected by ultrasound in cells within an embryo that will eventually become the heart around six weeks into a pregnancy. That means most abortions in Georgia are effectively banned at a point before many people know they are pregnant.

Opinion: Supreme Court justices show they have chosen a political agenda to defendCarefully groomed by the Federalist Society, today’s conservative Supreme Court justices are a threat to America. The Tribune is biased. So this is not valid. Its narcissistic. Do you ever publish letters letters from people with functional brains? Do a quick search and see how many times the liberal justices vote with the conservative justices. The good 'news' here is that SD-UT has zero readership and those that still get this rag, know it's a liberal, woke LA Times lite!
