Federal judge temporarily blocks Georgia's restrictive new abortion law from taking effect, following the lead of other judges who have blocked similar measures in other states.
A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked Georgia's restrictive new abortion law from taking effect, following the lead of other judges who have blocked similar measures in other states.
U.S. District Judge Steve Jones wrote in an order Tuesday that the current laws governing abortion in the state shall remain in effect for the time being."Today is a tremendous victory for the women of Georgia and for the Constitution," ACLU of Georgia legal director Sean Young said."Politicians have no business telling women or couples when to start or expand a family. This case has always been about one thing: Letting her decide.
Additionally, it declares an embryo or fetus a"natural person" once cardiac activity can be detected, saying that is the point where"the full value of a child begins." That would make the fetus a dependent minor for tax purposes and trigger child support obligations.
