A federal appeals court ruled that a widely restrictive Georgia abortion law can go into effect immediately after it reversed a lower court ruling Wednesday.last month with one judge in the Georgia case writing that the historic Supreme Court decision “makes clear no right to abortion exists under the Constitution, so Georgia may prohibit them.”There are exceptions to rape and incest as long as a police report is filed.
The three-judge panel of the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals also issued a second order Wednesday to allow the law to take effect immediately. Kemp has avoided stating whether he supports further abortion limits, but his staffers have noted it might be difficult to pass a more restrictive law because the 2019 legislation only passed by one vote.
