Georgia trial will determine fate of abortion law
Fox News
In Georgia, a two-day trial began on that will decide whether a six-week abortion ban remains legal under the state's constitution.
The state attorney general's office responded in a court filing that Georgia's privacy protections do not extend to abortion because it affects another "human life."
Georgia's law bans most abortions once a "detectable human heartbeat" is present. Cardiac activity can be detected by ultrasound in cells within an embryo that will eventually become the heart as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. That means most abortions in Georgia are effectively banned at a point before many women know they are pregnant.
