Georgia’s law against post-heartbeat abortions is back in effect. On Friday, I highlighted the state of Georgia’s emergency motion that asked the Georgia supreme court to block a lower court’s highly adventuresome ruling against the heartbeat law. The Georgia supreme court sensibly granted the state’s motion today.
The state supreme court’s ruling is not a final decision on the merits. It means, rather, that the lower court’s injunction will not be in force while Georgia pursues its appeal of the lower court’s ruling.
