ATLANTA — Bucking intense opposition from abortion rights groups, citizens and doctors, the Georgia House gave final approval Friday to a “fetal heartbeat” abortion ban outlawing almost all abortions in the state.The ultimate goal, like that of several GOP controlled states moving to enact the strict abortion bans, is to get a case in front of the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge its 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.
Two influential groups, the Medical Association of Georgia and the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians, sent letters to lawmakers opposing the legislation.
A woman doesn't have to go to the doctor or let a randome doctor hear a heartbeat! Less women should be getting medical treatment in order to get an abortion, since forcing letting a doctor listen to your insides would violate the constitution!
Let’s see how Georgians who support this bill will react to a new state tax instituted to support these babies they’re trying to save.
Allahu akbar
Thank you God
Good...great Georgia
Is this the law that will go to SCOTUS in an effort to undo Roe v Wade?
About dmn time. Disagree all you want about what to do with the kids of the low income, sex perverted, A$$holes that can't keep their legs shut after they have been born. Don't murder a child over a moron's lack of decency. Bunch of murderous libtard beasts.
AbortionIsMurder
Last I knew, birth control isn’t banned in our country. So where is the idea of the government “forcing women to reproduce” coming from We live in a sick country if it’s acceptable to kill a baby because people aren’t responsible enough to prevent pregnancy.
About time some are seeing abortion for what ot truly is: Murder of the unborn!
RorateCaeli Great!
This would be an interesting case to be brought before the Supreme Court. I don’t know which way it would go. j2311OU
Yes this is awesome. Praise the Lord.

PSherryr Congrats GA!
Men controlling women.
Whats next ....life begins at the moment of erection
If it passes, the new limits would only take effect if two other things happened : The U.S. Supreme Court would have to overrule the landmark 1973 ruling, which established a nationwide right to abortion. Then, the General Assembly would have to pass a joint resolution
Nicely done Georgia. First slavery and next abortion. Two things our country will (are ) be embarrassed and disgusted about before the next century.
“Wrong cannot win on a ‘made up’ technicality.” - Aeschylus
This is per se UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The GA lawmakers cannot “override” The US SUPREME COURT or “overrule” the CASE LAW delineating GA WOMEN’s Abortion rights. The “logic” is legally irrelevant. The Supremacy Clause works and is.
These men will lose in the next election...women will rise up against this oppression.
Here is a good idea: stop getting pregnant ! Don’t go in a bar half dressed and get drunk and then get laid.
I smell challenge ACLU my body my rights
InstaurareInXto 👍🏻🥂🎉
Gotta love all the people who are more concerned about the human rights of a clump of cells than they are about the actual living, breathing, woman that is incubating it.
OH NO! ALL THOSE CELEBRITIES WON'T GO TO GEORGIA! Well done Georgia. Thank you for choosing life.
Be responsible!!! safesex
Are they not aware of Roe vs Wade?
This is what happens when the Left approves infanticide.
Tennessee, too.
Once again reactionaries & backwards making decision for women's body & blocking their freedoms to decide for their own health & their own life, the governor should not sign the bill,it is aginst American democracy.
Awesome news! FetusLivesMatter
Nice to know there is a state that is not run by murders.

Christians are whats wrong with this nation..... They HAVE to try & control every aspect our lives...... Thats their power..... Thats what they cling to.... Brainwash & them dominate... For 2,000 yrs
I hope yall know he is going to sign this. This is a man who blatantly cheated at an election. So I advise yall to download flotracker and track your periods to the day. Bc if you think this racist white man has any womans best interest, you’ve wrong.
The real shame in this is that some of the people who oppose this mothers didn’t believe in abortion.
staceyabrams wouldn't have done that.
If you do the act,the Baby has rights also!! Life is more of a right than a regret of a drunken night !!
Sales of Handmaiden robes skyrocketed
How horrible of them, they don’t want to kill a human with a heartbeat.
All this is happening because of the Democratic Party you have moved so far right you have empowered these Nazis in every fucking state you have given up everything we have gained in the sixties and seventies and you're still not done moving right
Oh God.
Great news for normal people. Not so much for Baby Killer Inc
Voting matters....disturbing!
MCITLFrAphorism Outstanding news from Georgia!!!!
Oh now those 50 actors are going to throw a giant temper tantrum. We don't care about what you think. Get that through your tiny little brains
How about wear a condom or get on birth control. I mean isn’t the pill or condoms free at Planned Parenthood or pretty close to it and isn’t it covered under Obamacare. And have you ever noticed that these women are pro abortion are so ugly no one would have sex with them anyway
😬👍
The American Taliban must be destroyed. Nobody tells my daughter her rights are subordinate to a clump of cells.
What arrogance for him (or anyone) to make these decisions for women.
Supreme Court knows Roe vs Wade is still law.
Radical Christian Law......
Where the attached bill for sterilization for the male sperm donor that created the baby with her? Once again, stupidity has no bounds. If you’re going to legislate a female’s body why not the male? Why do the women with all these men legislating let them get away w this?
Is this actually enforceable? Will have to go through the courts before it can be implemented right?
So, if unreported rape victims don't know they're pregnant before 6 weeks, the gov't will force them to have the babies?
This is great news. Most importantly it saves the lives of babies. That's what it's all about. But it also has a side dish, Georgia will not have to deal with many Hollywood Trash types & National Celebrities. 👍😉♥️
Like we needed another reason to avoid GA.....
Good for Georgia, somethings are worth saving in Georgia ..
Unconstitutional.
Thank you Georgia for saving millions of lives.
A baby's heartbeat starts at 6 weeks. Does this mean a female who is molested/raped, then finds out she's pregnant at 4 weeks will be able to get into a dr BEFORE the 2 week window is up? OR will she have to wait the normal month that it usually takes to get an appt to see a dr.?
F&£K
Now SCOTUS will have to rule on it
Yep, next up is a requirement for all white men in Georgia to own slaves. I mean why not? This state has gone completely fucking insane. Time to get out of here.
'Men should stay out of the abortion debate' *Doesn't say this about men who support abortion*
They’re coming for your guns next ladies!
Women will die because of this bill. Early bleeding, ectopic pregnancies,
Weekend trip to Miami it is
When do they pass the law the mandates Every child born gets healthcare, food, and an education through a 4 year community college? You know since these children are so important.
Pregnancy is on the list of preexisting conditions that will make many women ineligible for health care if the ACA is repealed. Make pregnancy a 'preexisting condition.' Then force women to carry. Then deny them future healthcare. GopWarOnWomen
The war on women continues.. just a matter of time before The Handmaid's Tale is reality under republican control
This will get shot down. Roe vs. Wade thank God, is still on.
Now to regulate men who stick their penises anywhere to make babies...no more just on the women
God Bless Georgia!
Cool cool cool...and child support will start being collected at the same time right?
All the right white wing mofos should have a field of compassion by adopting ALL of these “heart beat” kids! The fuck they will! They’re crawling back into their holes and can’t be found; if not, fund them for the rest of their heart beat lives!
smirkright REEEEEEE
Lawsuits to follow. Taxpayers will pay to defend a law they don’t even want or will stand a court challenge. We’re going to pay government lawyers to fight for this.
janet_yackle Good luck to the women of Georgia...
God Bless Georgia!!!!! 🇺🇸🙏
Time to actually PLAN PARENTHOOD with planned parenthood
So what is the law against aborting a heartless person ?
Freedom and liberty don't exist without choice.... My womb my choice....
I’m sure Georgia is also increasing access to preventative birth control and effective sexual education, as well as resources for young mothers like daycare, food, housing, and healthcare?
Justice Ginsberg said herself Roe is flawed and is a state rights issue.
Handmaid tale next?
Just setting up a part to the SCOTUS to get the Roe v Wade decision overturned with the 2 Trump appointees doing the bidding of Republican conservatives.
Ala ‘lysistrata’, Every single Mother/Daughter/Sister/Aunt/Cousin/Neighbor/Doctor/Nurse/Teacher/Friend who believe in a woman’s right to safely choose, please, take an oath of celibacy until we get back to center & end this sickness taking us back to hangers, butchers & alleys.
So, for argument sake, we go all Biblical--doesn't salvation belong to the quick, which occurs later, like 18th week or so? So, why are they going with heartbeat? Is there some legal precedent? Not arguing with anyone, just asking.
Illegal procedures .... infertility ...
One would think the Democrats, the alleged party of science, would think a heartbeat might be the sign of life.
This bill has passed and been overturned in a number of states already. They are nothing if not persistent.
SaveTheLifeOfThatChild cried the desperate mother. LifeABeautifulChoice
RorateCaeli good news for babies
sorry georgia but lucky for you are surrounded by states that still offer abortions
Want to be baby free? Use a condom or take the pill or stop screwing everything on two legs. We’re not dogs. We’re human beings.
Sweet. Let’s capitulate religious morons in the bumfuck regions of Georgia. Rather than capitalize on the fact that Atlanta has one of the most robust economies in the country. Any guesses on how long it takes for a crippling economic boycott over this idiocracy. I bet a week.
and that will change what...?
So much for Alyssa Milano and her threats 😍😉
Instead of celebrities all up in arms threatening to boycott Georgia over this, they should have boycotted when GA put a cheat in the Governor's office.
Too bad,p Georgia. I'll never get to go to the DeKalb Farmers Market again.
👋 Hollywood stars
Awesome news. Let’s get this going across the country...
I'm glad we live in a country that cares so much about the life of children that we mandate generous parental paid leave and health benefits for expectant mothers and babies.
So there will be women dying from illegal backstreet abortions like in the 'good old days'?
I hope as states implement this policy that they also focus on adoption, foster care and birth mother care reform.
Neanderthals.
Hey! 'Ole MushMouth BrianKempGA , too bad your mamma didn't take a wire hanger to you before it was too late!
Babies have a right to live!
I'll gladly spend my vacation dollars in Georgia.
Good. We need the same down here in Florida. All we got going on is ultramiami Ultra2019 ULTRA
You can still get as many abortions as you want, up til 6 weeks. You can also use birth control of any kind, which I highly recommend for everyone.
So, all the babies that mothers are forced to bring to term can be dropped on the doorsteps of these politicians to take care of? Cool 😎
Showing NY how to value EVERY life.
How can Georgia invalidate a Constitutional Amendment?
It will die a quick death in federal court 😂
...idiots.
The GOP, pro life, until birth.
Good for the unborn. Good for Georgia.
I think brain activity should be the limit.
The most screwed up State in the United States. No wonder look at how Stacy Abraham was treated in Georgia. The reason is simple it’s run by Republicans. Change & good fortune will follow.
This is so fucked
Red states banning abortion while blue states are expanding abortion. Wonder which states are morally right.🤷🏻♂️ And they say walls are immoral.😉
Love to spend tax payer money on a loosing legal battle for actual no reason very smart good stewards of their state
Congratulations to all Georgians!!!
Republicans also support bills that take away healthcare from children, who suffer and/or die without it. They are not the party of pro-life. They are pro-control of women & pro-death.
I don't know why they do this to themselves. There is decades of precedent.... This is unconstitutional. We will not go back.
GREAT NEWS!!
Whatever will the Hollywood pedos ever do... cross state lines.
Georgia would rather spend money on a losing lawsuit than pay for education and healthcare
not under roe v wade, my dudes.
YES!!!!
This is a great day for the unborn lives that Democrats love to murder!
Thank you for standing up to Hollyweird and to the Democrat Party and infanticide.
Great day for the fetus!
Under His Eye
The one good thing about realDonaldTrump Presidency is it revealed to the nation that Republicans have never really been Patriots & would gladly sellout a nation if it means winning an election; They would find a way to justify it..Vote them all out 20/20.
