Trial Over Georgia's Restrictive Abortion Law To Begin
Newsy
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney has scheduled two days of testimony in a suit seeking to strike down the law on multiple grounds.
A trial to determine whether Georgia can continue to ban abortion as early as six weeks into a pregnancy is set to begin in an Atlanta courtroom Monday.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney has scheduled two days of testimony in a lawsuit that seeks to strike down the law on multiple grounds, including that it violates the Georgia Constitution's right to privacy and liberty by "forcing pregnancy and childbirth upon countless Georgians."
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."
