Courts say anti-abortion 'heartbeat bills' are unconstitutional. So why do they keep coming?Currently in Georgia, women are allowed to undergo abortion procedures up to their 20th week of pregnancy. Starting on January 1, the bill Kemp signed generally would ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy -- when many women don't yet know they're pregnant.
"We will act to block this assault on women's health, rights and self-determination."Staci Fox, CEO of Planned Parenthood Southeast, said she had a few messages.To Georgia's governor, she said,"We will see you in court."To the lawmakers who supported the bill, she said,"We are coming for their seats.
Good about damn time.
I’m not one to get political, especially on social media but this deserves some attention (A thread). Typically you can hear a heart beat at 8 weeks, by this point there are still a lot of unknowns. This being if there is a problem with the fetus, if it is causing harm to the
People will hate me for saying this but I’m happy to see that so many babies are going to get the chance at life now
BrianKempGA What a disservice you have done for females! Does this bill also make the biological father provide for the mother and child for the rest of their lives regardless of marital or adoption status as HE needs to feel the consequences of his actions as well?
Funny how the ones for abortion are the ones already born. Wicked fuckers. Good for Georgia.
How many foster children need adoption..hypocrites
Controversial? Not killing a person with a heartbeat is controversial?
All them Georgia frat boys that voted for him
what a loser
Men making yet another decision for WOMEN that has nothing to do with the male body.
Just because it is Law it does not make it right. Stop killin babies
God never takes our choice, but he expects us to make the right choice, when it comes to life. Moral Law says we should not murder helpless unborn babies. Who ever signs Laws that kill Judgement is coming to you and all those who co sign get your popcorn ready
There was just an 11 year old CHILD who was raped. It seems more unlawful to force her to carry a baby when she is still a baby herself.
The excitement in their eyes is terrifying
But then there's this. It's not about a fetus or a baby or the right to life. It's all about power & control.
Another win for misogyny 🙁
?
It’s not like women won’t just cross state lines. Republicans are just setting up women to go back to the coat hanger
Nothing see here, just a man putting the gift between a woman and her doctor.
Why do women put up with men telling them what they can and cannot do. This bill clearly shows that Kemp doesn’t even understand how a woman’s body works.
I love anti abortion people. They don’t want to you to have one yet won’t help you when the child comes into this world. Hypocrites.
This won't stop abortions. If a woman wants it she will have it. Stairs, hangers, starvation, alcohol, smoking, taking more than one birth control pill... The only thing changing is how safe these abortions will be.
Murder is murder, that heartbeat is the same as any other human. So for example, lets say theres a single parent that has a 6 yr old, cant provide for the child anymore, i guess that parent should just be allowed to have the child killed? Abortion is wrong I dont care who you are
So a woman who had been raped should be forced to have the baby? What if it was a family member who did it? What if the mother is sick and her life is in jeopardy? What if treatment will harm the baby? Too many what ifs to not allow a woman to decide. Church & state? Roe v wade?
Just curious, how many obstetrical healthcare providers are on your advisory team?
Smh
🤬
Perfect, who next?
If a man and woman choose to have unprotected sex then they pay the consequences. Rape, retardation, and deathly illnesses should be the only exceptions.
This is wrong on so many levels!! You can't take away a woman's right to choose! It is her body. Boycott Georgia!! AbortionAccess
A woman is the one to decide on her body, so close your legs, because once another human being starts to form you have to carry with such responsibility. YOU LOVE TO DO IT, AND IT FEELS SO GOOD, THEN ASSUME THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT IT CARRIES!!!
I think that allowing abortion can help those who are unable to raise a child.
Let’s remember the Law people, Roe V Wade. Only forward, not backwards!
Good decision may God bless u 👏👏it 'll go through
Good
The south......
MOST MEN LIKE THIS DONT HAVE BALLS THEY WERE CLIPPED HOW SIGN A BILL CONTROLLING WHAT A WOMAN DO WITH HER BODY AND POLITICAL WOMEN BACK HIM
Women are under attack...ok no abortion go ahead and take the baby to survive outside my body at 6 weeks.
At least, some parts of human society are trying to become civilised. Please protect the most vulnerable form of human life.
If less government is the goal of Republicans, why, then, is this governor signing this bill? How about he stay out of a bill that entangles government?
Let the waste in state tax dollars begin. Federal law supersedes state anyway!
I wish the suits in the Tennessee legislature had the balls to do the same thing pclivesinthesouth
Nothing like regression 😱🥵😓
In hindsight, the Union should’ve let the south succeed.
Thank You! Stop TheDemocrats Infantcide
Move from GA too ladies or stay and remember so you can vote those predators out.
What?
Amen to that 🙏 You're all evil 😈
If you think that you have the last word look around God is the Master who calls all the shoots
So who is going to take care of all these unwanted children?!?who is going to financially support these kids?!? What if the person isn’t fit to be a parent?!? So we are going to put kids through hardship for no reason at all
Congratulations Georgia! Lead by example.
Controversial?!?! That’s totally fair and fine!!!
it's not his body...it's not his choice...
He illegally interfered with the elections, why wouldn't he control every woman's mind & body in Georgia. What kind of idiot would vote him in?
About time
Explain how your detecting it at that stage of life.
Common sense prevails
Best news ever!
And how many times has Kemp been pregnant?
Good
Yea governor kemp. My states governor wants to kill them even AFTER birth
Going to be great when he signs into law affordable education and healthcare for everyone in Georgia as well!
They won't allow abortions but they'll allow your 15 year old to carry an AK-47
The South does it again, how can people live in the South?
Georgia’s law includes exceptions for incest, rape and situations of medical futility or where the health of the mother is at stake.
A return to yesterday, let's just keep women barefoot, pregnant, chained to the sink, remove their voting rights and demand they speak only when they're spoken to...... seriously, what a joke.
Hmmm..conservatives who are against the govt interfering in our lives, seem to be ok with them interfering,as long as it’s for underprivileged woman, who need gyn care.This isn’t about abortion. It’s about oppressing underprivileged women who use Planned Parenthood for healthcare
now ban all forms of abortion
THank you Gov. Make a stand.... If you ever want to move west... CA could use your thought process..
Yes, America is changing!!!
Because small government, right?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🐇
A fetal heartbeat is a mere technicality. Life begins at conception and if left alone an embryo will become a living person like you and me. How many pro-choice people out there would have been okay with being an abortion? Any of you?
Men should not legislate what women should or shouldn't do with their own bodies. Period!
Men controlling women.
Then castrate seed donor if he won’t pay for all of healthcare and expenses
Run a background check on these people
The governor better be willing to take on the responsibility for these fetuses as they grow into children I need to be provided for. Don't bend on the taxpayer to pick up the tab because there are people who feel differently
This is 2019 and the meaning of Controversial is very confusing... There is a heart beat so it is alive. What is controversial about that?
Note to women, a miscarriage in Georgia can now be used to bring murder charges against you.
Congratulations Georgia better increase taxes to pay for all these single moms with unwanted babies. Woman’s uterus woman’s choice!!!🤬
What are those women there thinking? Allowing men to make the rules up for women. Disgraceful
All right Hollywood's righteous. Let's see what your response is to Gerogia. You actually CAN do something other than tweet seeing how over 5 billion is made in that state because of film. This is a true test for your morals.... money or principals you decide.
This is one of the most stupid laws ever.
This is wrong. A baby may not b comparable with life n have a heartbeat. Gop wants all babies ro b born bur cut off heathcare due to preexisting consitions...pick a lane gop
American patriots do this kind of thing. Something you wouldn’t know about.
They say its not human yet. Thats it is her body. Her decision.
🙏🏻
If women’s bodies are to be controlled (which they shouldn’t be,) why not mens? Fair is fair. Time to require boys to have vasectomies at the onset of puberty. Reverse only when they’re financially and emotionally mature enough to have a child! mybodymychoice
Anyone against this is a monster and shouldn't procreate to begin with
If women’s bodies are to be controlled why not mens? Fair is fair. Time to require boys to have vasectomies atthe i set of puberty puberty. Reverse only when they’re financially and emotionally mature enough to have a child!
boycott Georgia.........
Georgia are we doing abortions for rape victims as soon as they walk into the hospital.
Same twits that voted for a bully in the WH.
We had a case like that here, the mother was misscarrying the baby and was In sepsis but because they could hear a heartbeat they refused to treat the mother and she and her baby died. Disgusting, her life lost for no reason doctors agreed that it was unlikely the baby would live
That's not controversial it's common sense
And the money for disabled, orphan and poor babies? You have condemned them to a life of misery and pain, all for the master race and those religious quacks you pray to.
Big wins across the board here..keep up the good work Georgia...all lives matter
The fact that the word controversial is used in this headline says it all.
Supreme Court here we come. We will see if the right wing judges follow the law. A challenge to Roe v Wade is always interesting.
Georgia babies will now be like.
Well Christians can't protest Muslims Sharia laws anymore... when American Christian law is heading in the same direction....
Best news ever.
Stone Age religion with so called holy men telling a rape victim she can’t do anything if a heartbeat is heard that country is just getting more and more fucked up i say amen 🙏 to that
GovMikeDeWine Same thing in Ohio thanks to Dewine. Outrageous and hopefully will be overturned in the courts
Gov kemp also sinks his state into debt due to the motion picture businesses response to said bill. Alyssa_Milano
If a beating heart is now the criteria for life, then it should also be extended to death. We should no longer consider brain death as the endpoint. Any family member or doctor that 'pulls the plug' should be charged with murder.
So now one has no control over the decision to save one’s wife who develops complications and may die or a child who had endured incest and becomes pregnant , or a daughter who has to share a child with a rapist for the rest of her life. I see problems.
Good job .. The process of abortion is a crime against humanity. The only exception if the life of the mother in danger.
Maybe sign a bill that fires politicians if no brain cells are detected.
500 grams as a compromise please.
USA NASA. MUST TAKE URGENT ACTION ON .RUSSIA NUCLEAR BOMBERS DIPLOIDE IN VENEZUELA COLOMBIA CUBA IS IPORTEN FOR AMERICAN CANTRIY SECURITY
Yet another reason to hate Republicans
Well then I suggest women in that state 'Slam the Door' on men ... NO MORE SEX DUDE...
👏👏👏
People keep saying this is going to “stop abortions,” it won’t. Itll stop safe, medically supervised abortions. Like rape, drugs and alcohol, abortion has been part of human nature since the dawn of time. This is nothing more then another politically charged ploy to control women
Controversial?
Thank you Jesus!
How about a bill that bans politicians if brain activity can't be detected?
Just another Republican ignoring the rule of law. This time it is Roe v Wade.
The woman with the knitting needle will have a lot of work. Welcome in 2019!
Using liberal logic, they should create stethoscope free zones around abortion clinics.
So once a heartbeat it a dependent tax deduction? What if the heart stops beating?
Republicans controlling women’s bodies
Doesn’t this make the death penalty illegal?
Women aren't people bill.
Stupid.
Get Ignorant people out if our bedrooms.
And where will he and all the other rich white people be 34 weeks after that heart beat is heard 😡 notmyproblem
Thank God! A man standing up for life! Life should never be treated as an inconvenience or a throw a way! Thankful for a brave man that does not take people’s irresponsibility out on the baby and kill the baby. Not the babies fault, should not have to pay with their life!
Well done... now poor people can’t get an abortion.
In the state with highest rate of Maternal death, Take care your women first Governor!!! Men (especially in government) need to back off of women’s rights and choices
God bless this man. And to think he almost lost to that cow. 💅🏻
Women are losing rights!
'We are called to be' are words of delusion that will forever haunt western civilization.
Only a women should decide, not a law, not a church, not a politician, and most certainly not any man.
Great news! 🙂
if its a medical issue then yes its ok for abortion but ppl are wanting abortion because they dont want a kid or cant afford to raise one well you afforded to raise your legs so no abortion is bot the answer
I wonder how many of their children use birth control and condom. Those pills kill also.
Yay for Georgia .Obviously a living heartbeat mean something to them I mean a heartbeat means you’re alive so if you snuff out a living heartbeat human being you’re committing murder thank you Georgia
Is it true that middle US Trump Traitors are floating the idea that everyone carry political identification (red or blue dot on licence) and retail can deny service if it likes? Please check it out.

Obama once said about his daughters... “They shouldn’t be punished with a baby!”... That’s not a comment on women’s health, that’s a belief that abortion is a convenient lifestyle fix... kind of like getting Liposuction or something. Sad! WhatILearnedToday PutThatInYourPipe
BoycottGeorgia ! No tourism, buy no goods or services from Georgia, buy nothing from businesses w HQ in Georgia, do not support their sports teams or colleges. BoycottGeorgia NOW !
At least I know one state that will never ever see a dime of my money.
Controversial ? To save a baby ? What's Controversial is you writing ' Controversial ' FakeControversy
Praise Zeus! Or is it Apollo? Or Neptune?
Like this is going to stop abortions.
He also rigged the election in his favor
Georgia sucks. Won’t be going there for any reason.
Why make ANY exceptions? A life is a life. And why not grant citizenship at 6 weeks too? Because it's not about life. it's about control over women
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Abortion isn’t healthcare
I guess wire coat hanger sales will increase in Georgia. Wonder if the governor owns stocks in that industry?
Some good news here. Thumbs up for your courage.
Why are the conservatives so hell bent antiabortion while going around and kill every living thing? And they are so proud of their association with the evil and blood-thirst NRA! Hypocrites are the evangelical fake Christians christiansagainsttrump
WTAF.
Right, keep abusing Women's bodies as if they politicians own them. NO ONE should EVER be allowed to force a woman to do anything with her body she isn't willing to do!
This is a fine example of going back to medieval ages!
Applause to GovKemp
Fake Christians
Let's call controversial, the right to live that unborned children have.
This is wrong. I should have the legal right to make the best choice for my life and my body!
Yay!!
Thank you! 🙏👏
Sentimental drivel based on the 'fact' a heartbeat makes us human, yet we can pull the plug of a brain dead patient.
Smart
So if we can't hear Brian Kemp's heartbeat (because it doesn't exist) does that mean he is exempt?
You can just say “unconstitutional.”
I hate to say it but I hope Ga loses all sorts of business.
Does it also guarantee 100% health and pre-natal care, adoption fees and support, child care, hospital coverage for babies born without vital organs....
Nice, another white male deciding on women's health.
Where was he when children were being locked up at the border? They had a heartbeat.
Finally someone in power with a brain, heart and conscience.
Controversial? This world is really upside down. Pro-choice advocates already won. You have your rights for abortion. From conception to the detection of a heartbeat is far enough to make up your mind. It's a reasonable compromise for both side of the argument.
You think Republicans are Legal,Straight,Patriotic Law Makers?...Republicans want to eliminate abortions!...But have no qualms about Kiddnapping Already born Kids?WTF?
'controversial bill that bans abortions' their words not mine
Fucking ridiculous
Great news!!!
What happens if you have a heartbeat and no brain activity...
Not controversial to me. Pretty common sense, really.
talk about turning bck the clock a few decades..good job taking away a woman’s right to choose..POS
Poor backwards Georgia this is what you get for letting hypocrite Republicans steal elections.
It's all about religion for these people. Nobody kills babies after birth.
I’m disgusted !! Do you guys realize that these people decided something about women’s bodies ?! Do you realize that being 6 weeks pregnant means that your period r only two weeks later ?! Shame on u Georgia !!!
Tell me when he does so i can spit on his grave.
So banning abortion after a certain term in pregnancy is “controversial” but Murdering a newborn child is not?!?!
All these State abortion bills are intended as cat nip for SCOTUS which, they hope, will pick the one best suited to revise or overturn Roe.
How is the limited government? I've lived in GA my entire life, and religion is never separate from the government. It's a sad day in GA, and I hope every film company and major corporation and big event stay away from GA.
So remind me again...a man has a say in a woman's choice? No.
Good luck in the courts.
Do u guys report on anything else but on how bad the president does.CNN should b kissing his ass or u would have nothing to report on smh
Yes..... Yes AMEN 🙏 Now the Democrats can finally have more American Voters the old fashion way !! 🧐
Chipping away at women’s right to safe healthcare.
Watch out! Religion is trying to creep back into our terrible politics. The last thing we need is to add religion to the mess were already in. Believe what you want, but don't lay your beliefs on me.
They are sick people
Isn’t that the klan guy who rigged their last election by playing home team coach AND umpire?
He will try and get this bill thrown out once his mistress gets pregnant.
Thank God he won the election. True leader.
Chalk one up for the good guys.
Awesome!❤️
Hopefully it makes it to the supreme court. Upheld.
I think they should ban all congressmen from making decision about what happens in a woman’s uterus.
Sad day in Georgia when women don't have the right to her own body.
Good abortion should not be used as birth control.
Boycott Georgia
With, I hope, a provision to require the practitioner to check for one.
SHAME ON YOU!
BrianKempGA is a disgrace and stole the governor’s election.
Republicans; protecting your baby until it’s born. Then it can fuck right off because it’s on its own.
No doubt he's encouraged his mistresses to abort their love children in true GOP family values fashion.
Let women manage their own bodies.
I love how old white men make decisions for all women. Totally fucked up!!
A WhitePrivilege man that knows what Women need. Yeah right! CorruptCongress CorruptGOP
STATE elections Matter🤨🤨🤨🤨
“Ladies, we will defend your right to buy an assault rifle, but that’s where it stops! Now, where’s my turkey pot pie?!”
You can't please everyone guys. I think he's trying to find a middle ground between banning abortions and legalizing them .
$1,000 says one of his daughters has had an abortion
Wow really. Georgia is so backwards. Well good luck with that Mr crappy Governor.
Such a blessing. Save baby humans.
I see lawsuits.....
Awesome!
Does this mean people will no longer vote for Republicans? Now that they’ve stopped poor and middle class women from, not only abortion, but all the tools to prevent men from impregnating them, can we please stop voting for them?
Wait until his own children are raped and need an abortion. Or if it comes between his child or grandchild's life.
Did the world go backwards and we are now in 1918 instead of 2019?
Its the woman's choice. If 'you think she's going to hell, well just gloat in your righteousness. I've seen woman being terrorised coming and going from planned parenthood. Everyone should be responsible with birth control but Its no ones business but the womans what she decides.
Good!!!
God bless.
What a completely disappointing setback for Georgia.
Knuckle draggers. A sentient being isn’t defined by a heartbeat. HEY MAGANUTS: THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE GOVERNMENT TELLING YOU WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN NOT DO. This decision is between woman and doctor. Hypocritical conservatives think it’s ok only if THEY tell u what 2 do.
America is going to be worse than Gilead.
Signed by the Governor who stole the elections.
Fake governor. Democrats need to turn out to vote
Abortion is bad. It’s the ultimate sin to willingly kill your own child. women who are raped should be able to get abortion up until they detect a heartbeat.
. . .MEANNESS RE-INCARNATED.
👏👏👏👏
Save the babies !!
Why is the world regressing at the moment...?
Disgusting
Yeah cause not murdering a living breathing baby somehow is controversial. Wow what a fucked up time we live in !
Audibly or Visually?
Women fight back
They’re gonna lose their film industry.
Thank God for his mercy.
Great job Governor!
Wow! Does he need a pen for every letter of his signature!
Thank God for Georgia!
Just a reminder: The Pro-Fetus Jesus Cult doesn't have a problem with caging post-birth fetuses, denying them healthcare, SNAP, and housing.
Pictured: Gleeful vultures prey upon women
Republicans want to force the mother have the baby but they don't give two shits about the baby once it's born.
Abortion lowers crime
If men had to give birth, there would be an abortion clinic on every street corner.
Great then his name first on list to pay child support, daycare, college, visitation, vacations etc for each child forced upon these mothers. Put your $ where your mouth is.
Russia is way easier than institutional racism I get it. But the two things are not equal in any way. This is more important. GOP candidate improperly purged 340000 from Georgia voter ...
Absolute Bullshit!!! !!!!
This is not controversial, it doesn't even go far enough. CNN playing accessory to outright murder.
Christian Forced Birth Law
So proud of Georgia for standing up for true equality! Giving those who have no voice protections from those who believe they are more valuable. Everyone has the right to live! So excited for the minority communities that will have a brighter future now. No more Sanger eugenics!
assholes
It'll go to court and lose. The gop is like your racist grandpa's last grasp at being relevant. Times are going forward but, they're stuck in the past.
Sharia law comes to Georgia.
Protecting lives is controversial?
Plants can have 'heartbeats' on a fetal monitor / ultrasound. Like... the sound of fluid moving through an organism does not mean a fully developed lifeform will be produced. 🤷🏻♀️
What happens if the Mother has to undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the early to mid stages of pregnancy (one of many examples)? Just hope the baby will survive out of the womb? Hope she will survive the birth?
This governor singlehandedly killed the movie industry in Georgia.
I think it’s the woman’s right and nobody else’s. The government and anybody else needs to stay out of women’s choices.
I guess this is a good reason not to live in Georgia. I plan never to travel there again after living there for 8 months in 1988. I sympathize for women and teens in Georgia.
Only the women should decide!
every day i thank the imaginary gods im not from the south lol
Rage for me libtards, RAGE!
Don't have sex with Republicans.
Lol a “fetal” heartbeat. It should be noted how time and again the left tries to dehumanize what is so obviously alive. Sick ppl.
But did anyone check to see if HE has a heart
Hmmm let's see how this plays out
🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
If only they cared about living people as much as they do globs of cells
Should women have the right to do what they want? I mean there is already a heartbeat, so it is a human. But it should be a woman’s choice. Kinda hard for men to have a say.
Next he'll sign a bill where voting rights are taken away if an ounce of compassion can be detected.
Anyone have a visual sitting of Ruth Bader Gindsburg
Oh no...Now Alyssa Milano won't want to film Who's The Boss 2 there anymore.
Murder now controversial according to CNN 🙄
Wow....like for real!!!!
that will be thrown out quickly
Soooo, a 12 year old girl gets raped and then has to give birth to child Wtf Georgia?
Good bye Hollywood movies filmed in GA
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 this extreme baby killing has to stop and I can't believe we're even discussing this in the United States.
“Controversial”
Banning slow jams. smh
