Georgia Supreme Court ruling now reinstates 6-week abortion ban

Oct. 7 (UPI) -- The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday rejected a lower court's ruling that says the state's near-total abortion ban was unconstitutional, according to new reports.

Last Monday, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney's ruling said Georgia's abortion law was unconstitutional, which then temporarily allowed the medical procedure to be performed even if there was a detection of a fetal heartbeat.
