The GOP war on women’s reproductive rights continues


Last week I posted about the ruling by a Georgia superior court judge who said that the Georgia law that bans women from getting an abortion after six weeks, which is so early in the pregnancy that many women will not even know they are pregnant, was unconstitutional. His ruling meant that abortions could be done until fetal viability, which is around 22 weeks.

Sadly, the Georgia supreme court has just overturned that ruling, thus re-instating the six-week ban.

Recall that Georgia is the state where two women Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller recently died because they were unable to obtain timely abortions. More women are going to die because of this new development.

That is not all. In Florida, the state is threatening criminal prosecutions for media outlets that are playing ads in support of that states’ abortion rights Amendment 4 a that is up for a vote on November 5th.
