Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is asking for a reversal of a court decision about Georgia’s controversial “heartbeat law”.
After the United States Supreme Court reversed the five-decades old “Roe vs. Wade” decision, Carr is now asking the United States Eleventh Circuit Court to reverse its decision on the Georgia Law.
Carr said in a press release, “I believe in the dignity, value and worth of every human being, both born and unborn. The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs is constitutionally correct and rightfully returns the issue of abortion to the states and to the people – where it belongs.”
A judge blocked the state’s bill from taking effect in July of 2020.
Georgia HB481, or Heartbeat Law, is a six-week abortion ban except in certain situations.
Physicians practicing medicine in Georgia would be prohibited from offering abortion services to pregnant women if a “fetal heartbeat” is present, which typically occurs in the sixth week of pregnancy.
